Egg Omelette Curry
Egg Omelette Curry | Egg Omelette Curry
in Bengali Style | Fried Egg Curry
Today I would share a dish that is from
nowhere new to us, however, the recipe
version that you will see on this blog post is in the Bengali method of
preparation. Today's special ingredient is taken 'egg' as it is all-time favourite
at my home. Egg can be considered
as a versatile cooking ingredient, this dish is also prominent
for all those people who do not prefer or
like to have meat for that instance. Egg Omelette
Curry is such an
ideal dish for all those quick meal solutions
for your busy working days and perfect for non-meat eaters too.
As I
said it's not a new recipe, Egg Omelette Curry is an age-old recipe that we all are aware of. Even
though few ingredients and the method of preparation may vary from chef to
chef, the basic core steps of frying the omelete
then making a gravy remain the same. It
is a simple tomato based thick curry in which puffed soft fried eggs are soaked
to make that fine gravy at the end. Egg Omelette Curry is the best way to
tackle the cooking schedules when you are in a rush and want something quick yet delicious for your lunch.
Egg Omelette Curry is
mainly cooked with cut pieces of fried egg omelettes
in every version of the recipe, a few even make the omelettes mixed with masalas and then simmer in the luscious curry. In my
recipe today, I've used the whole omelette
in the curry instead of cutting into pieces and also skipped using masalas in
the omeletes, as we prefer less spice in
our daily consuming foods. And since Egg Omelette Curry has been a quick medium of cooking arrangement, with a rich source of
nutrients available in eggs, I usually prepare this dish cooking in a very
simple way yet it turns out lip-smackingly delicious.
