Egg Keema Curry

By Mita Mondal
Egg keema curry is a delightful and instant comfort food made with grated boiled eggs simmered in spiced onion and tomato gravy. The gravy is well-balanced and includes freshly chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes along with a mixture of daily-use spices and is finally topped with a butter addition for a richer taste.

Notes

I add salt along with tomatoes as it expedites the softening of tomatoes.
Grating the eggs gives a better texture to the egg keema curry rather than mashing them or cutting them into small pieces as that will make the curry mushy.
I prefer using chopped ingredients rather than their paste form as they add to the taste in every bite.
