Dimer Jhol (Egg Curry)


Today I will share a recipe which normally we prepare when we feel a urge to eat something tasty but......... Egg curry or dimer jhol is a preparation which is loved by everyone. You can say its a very common dish for through out the world.

Definately the preparation might be little bit different. Today I ll post the simple Bengali style Egg curry.

Preparation Time:20 min
Ingredients:
4 Eggs
1 Big size potato cut into medium pieces (cut 1 potato into 8 pieces)
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Cumin powder
1 tsp corriander powder
1/2 tsp Kashmiri Lal Mirch
2 Green Chillies finely chopped
2 big onions cut into pieces (cut 1 onion into 6 pieces)
2-3 pieces of lahsun chopped
1 Bay Leave
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt to taste
Pinch of Sugar

How To Cook:


Boil the eggs for7-8 min. Take them out & peel them. Now cut each egg into 2-3 pieces with a sharp knife and merinate them with turmeric powder and salt. Heat mustard oil in a pan & gently fry the egg pieces. We need to very carefull while handling the eggs in the pan,as the egg yolk is very soft in nature. So chances of breaking is there. Keep the fried eggs aside.

Now fry the potato pieces in the leftover oil or if required add 1-2 tsp of oil & keep them aside.

Again heat the pan with little oil(3-4 tsp). Add the bay leave & stir for 1-2 min. Now add the onion & lahsun and fry for next few minuts. As the onions get brown, add salt, green chillis, Cumin, corriander, Kashmiri Lal Mirch  & Turmeric  powder & stir for 2-3 min.

Pour around 200ml (a glassful) water.

If required add a pinch of sugar. Now add the egg pieces & the garam masala powder. Cook for 7-8 min  It will be a gravy curry.

Serve with hot rice.
