Best Curried Potatoes With Poached Eggs Recipes

EGG AND POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions; cook and stir until onion pieces are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove pan from heat and set it aside. Transfer cooked onions to the bowl of a food processor; grind onions, tomatoes, and green chiles into a smooth paste.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion mixture carefully, as it may spatter. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, ginger paste, coriander, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 5 minutes.
• Pour water into skillet and bring sauce to a boil. Add cubed potatoes. Gently stir in the eggs. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

PARSI POTATOES WITH EGG

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold water by 1 inch in a medium saucepan, then stir in 1 tablespoon salt and simmer until not quite tender, about 8 minutes. Drain potatoes and cool slightly. Peel potatoes, then quarter and slice about 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook mustard and cumin seeds until a shade darker and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 45 seconds. Add curry leaves and chiles and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in turmeric and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, then add potatoes and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 14 minutes. Discard chiles, then stir in cilantro and salt to taste.
• Transfer to a 10-inch heavy skillet with a high-domed lid (or use a metal bowl or inverted skillet as a lid) and keep warm, covered, over very low heat.
• Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until they just hold stiff peaks. Lightly beat yolks with a fork, then stir in a spoonful of beaten whites to lighten them. Fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Drizzle water around edge of skillet and spread eggs evenly over surface of potatoes. Increase heat and bring liquid just to a simmer (to create steam). Cover skillet, then reduce heat to low and cook until surface is dry and slightly springy to the touch, 12 to 14 minutes.
