Ingredients and supplies

  • 8 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 tbsp mustard seeds
  • 2 onions
  • 400 g can of tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 large red pepper
  • 2 cm ginger
  • 1 elephant garlic clove or 3 cloves
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp katoembar
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 5 leaves curry leaves
  • 2 leaves of djoeroek poeroet (lemon leaf)

Prep-work

Boiling eggs (hard)

Grate the ginger and garlic.

Coarsely chop red pepper,

Cut the eggs in half.

Preparation

Pan with oil on high heat and when it is hot put mustard seeds in it and quickly put the lid on! The seeds will pop, lower the heat a bit!

When it has calmed down, add the onion and chili powder, stir and fry until translucent.

Then fry/lightly heat the garlic, ginger, coriander and turmeric over medium heat.

Let it simmer for a while and then turn the heat to high and add the tomatoes.

When it boils, add salt and add the djoeroek poeroet.

Stir and cook until it is lumpy, if it is too thin reduce, if it is thick add (boiling/hot) water. But it should cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the curry leaves and immerse the egg halves in the mixture.

Then let the flavors soak in for at least 10 minutes.

This dish can be prepared 1 day in advance because the flavours will be absorbed well, but keep it cool because of the eggs!
