DELHI-STYLE EGG CURRY
Wonderful for a weekend brunch, or for supper after the theatre, this curry is a joy to prepare when you feel like pottering about in the kitchen on a rainy day. It is nourishing, warming and yummy. I always serve it with either parathas or rice, with pickles and chutneys alongside. Use more or less chile powder and green chilies depending on how spicy hot you like your food. Adapted from a recipe by Madhur Jaffrey. For garam masala, see recipe #6588, Garam Masala II by Recipezaar. Add to it 1 tablespoon cardamom seeds, a 2-3 inch stick of cinnamon, broken up, increase the nutmeg to 1/3, and follow the same method. Use the required amount as per the recipe below.

Steps:
- Place the oil in a medium to large non-stick lidded pan and heat over a medium-high flame.
- Add the sliced onions when the oil is hot, and stir and saute about 6 minutes until they become reddish brown in color.
- Toss in the ginger and garlic and continue to stir and fry for a minute.
- Next add the ground spices, namely the coriander, cumin, turmeric, chile powder and paprika, and mix and stir for around 10 seconds.
- Start adding the yoghurt, a tablespoon at a time, stirring well after each addition until it is absorbed.
- Place all the finely chopped tomatoes in the pan and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until they become pulpy- you can mash them with the back of a wooden spoon, or a potato masher, to aid the process.
- When the tomatoes are pulped to your liking, add the chicken stock and salt to taste, bring to the boil, cover the pan, then gently simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes over a low heat, during which time it will thicken.
- The sauce can be prepared to this stage ahead of time.
- When ready to serve, stir the whipping cream, garam masala, chilies and cilantro into the heated sauce, then season with more salt if necessary.
- Lay the hard-boiled eggs in a single layer, cut side up, in the sauce, and spoon some sauce over them.
- Serve as recommended above with parathas or rice.
EGG CURRY
Food has always been politicized in India, a person's diet often revealing the specifics of her cultural identity. And under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the surge of pro-vegetarian Hindu nationalism, even the simple practice of serving eggs at school lunch has become fraught. But eggs have long been an important source of nutrition across the country, and form the base of many classic regional dishes. In Andhra Pradesh, this spicy, tomato-rich egg curry would have firmer, more crumbly yolks (boiled for about 11 or 12 minutes), but I like to cook them a little softer (8 minutes, max).

Steps:
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly caramelized and light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and fry, stirring occasionally, another 4 minutes. Add the cinnamon and cardamom. When the spices start to toast, after about 2 minutes, stir in the coriander, turmeric and peppercorns.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the fat rises to the top, about 15 minutes. Stir in the garam masala and lower the heat. If the sauce isn't runny, stir in 1/2 cup water.
- Add all but 2 of the eggs and stir gently. Halve the remaining eggs lengthwise and arrange on top, yolk-side up. Heat until the eggs are warmed through, then top with cilantro.

Tips:
- Before boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water; this makes them easier to peel.
- To make peeling extra easy, shock them in an ice bath immediately after boiling and leave them to cool completely.
- If you don't have time to boil eggs, you can use pre-boiled ones. Just make sure they are fresh and of good quality.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half; this will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Gently scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl. Be careful not to break the whites.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth and creamy.
- Season the yolks with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the mashed yolks back to the egg whites and mix well.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add some oil.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
