I kind of feel very stuck with little options when it comes to making egg curry or is that I haven’t googled much..! While in such a dismay, I find this recipe. Omelette in a curry yeah! Something different and interesting. It’s like having two things in one; curry and omelette.
You need –
For the omelette
- Eggs – 4
- Onion – 1 small, thinly sliced
- Green/red chilies – 1, Chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Oil – 2 teaspoons
For the gravy/curry
- Thick coconut milk – ½ cup
- Thin coconut milk – 1 cup
- Onion – 1 big, thinly sliced
- Ginger – grated, 2 teaspoon
- Coriander powder – 3 teaspoons
- Chili powder – 1 ½ teaspoons
- Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoons
- Garam masala – ¼ teaspoon
- Mustard seeds – ½ teaspoons
- Oil – 1 tablespoons
- Curry leaves – 1 sprig
- Salt to taste
How to-
In a bowl, beat the eggs, onion, chilies and salt. Heat oil in a flat pan and pour the egg mixture to make an omelette. Cut into 4-5 pieces or as per your choice and set aside.
Heat oil in a sauce pan, crackle the mustard seeds. Add the ginger and saute for a minute. Add in the onion and curry leave; cook until the onions turn light brown.
In a bowl, mix coriander, chili turmeric and garam masala powders to a fine paste with enough water. Add this to the onion mixture. Cook till the oil start to separate. Add the thin coconut milk, omelette, salt to taste and cook till the gravy thickens.
Add the thick coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer and but do not boil.
Turn off the heat and serve hot with rice or flat bread.
Never made omelette curry before,Rekha but this looks so good with the egg soaking in all the flavors from the gravy I must give it a try.
Its 1.30am and I am still in front of laptop but have to hit the bed soon. I am convinced that this egg curry is something different and yes, interesting too. I like the idea that the eggs were before being drenched into the lovely gravy. The evidences are all obvious from the pictures.
Almost all the egg omelette curries that I have seen posted in blogs had very unappealing pics going with them – which made me a bit hesitant to try them out. But your's is a different story altogether Rekha 🙂 It looks so inviting. Also love how you have made the gravy. I will try this out sometime soon 🙂
Very innovative omelette curry bookmarked will try out and looks so delicious

I've never heard of an omelette curry, but it sounds like a good change from the typical omelettes for sure.. Your egg omelette curry looks fabulous Rekha 🙂
