Egg korma - better than it sounds
« on: October 14, 2014, 08:46 PM »
Try this -

SERVES 2
2 soft-boiled eggs (or you could poach them)
1 portion korma sauce

Cook the korma sauce as per usual, but add:
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tbsp plain yoghurt
50g butter
1 tsp finely-shredded lemon zest
1 tsp finely-shredded fresh ginger

Combine the eggs and the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaf and finely-sliced red chilli to serve.

Have you any pictures macferret, this dish would be great for my sister-in-law, plus a couple of my friends.

2 Eggs for 2 people? I would probably do about 8! But I am greedy...

Ah, but the good Mr MacFerret failed to mention that he served it with a dozen chapati and 1/2lb of pulao rice :)

At the Asian Grocery yesterday and I noticed a product they have in the Indian section called Melam Egg Roast Masala, a powdered spice blend made up specifically to do eggs.

A big favourite of mine is curried egg sandwich and I'm partial to a korma.  Can't hurt to try it out.

Sorry - should have said it was just a side dish. You can scale up the eggs of course (ostrich would be interesting).

The other thing I didn't mention is that my wife was boiling up a load of mirabelle plums and I put a tbsp of that in it. It gave it a really good flavour but it's not really repeatable as a recipe. Maybe next time I could cut down on the sugar and use a tbsp of plum jam or mango chutney. I'll give it a try.

Cheers,

Tim
