Egg Kheema

This is my very first recipe since i started blogging.The reason I choose this recipe as my first post is I wanted to thank my special friend Manju who made this dish popular back home in India.I sent this recipe for her daughter's birthday party and it was an instant hit( as told by her). She posted the party pics along with food pics in her profile and people kept asking for recipe. This recipe is good for 4 people.So here it goes..

Ingredients

• 4 Hard boiled eggs
• 1 large Onion finely chopped
• 2 large Tomato into paste/puree
• 1/2 tsp Ginger garlic paste
• 3 tbsp Oil
• 1/8 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric
• 1/2 tsp MDH chicken masala/Kheema masala OR any garam masala you have
• 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
• 1/4 Red chilli powder(optional)
• 2-3 Green chillies (optional)
• Fresh cilantro/coriander chopped
• Salt (according to taste)

Method

1. Grate all the boiled eggs and keep aside. Now in a deep pan/wok put the oil .When the oil is heated up add chopped onions to it. Fry the onions till they shrink.

2. Now add the tomato paste/puree to it and add all the dry spices along with the salt. Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped/whole green chillies( if u like spicy).Add 2-3 tsp of water, mix well and cover it on low for 2-3 minutes. Uncover and see if the oil starts separating. If it does that means all the spices are blended well.

3. Now add 1/8 cup of milk to it just enough to make a gravy. Add the grated egg and mix well.Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.Enjoy with ur chapatis as a meal or with pav as a snack.

Serving suggestion: Serve egg kheema with toasted pavs, coriander chutney and chopped onions on the side.

Tips n Tricks: If u do not wish to add milk u can add water.Adding milk/water prevents kheema from becoming too dry and gives it consistency.
