Stir fried Boiled Eggs

stir fry eggs
Potatoes and eggs are two of my favorite ingredients which can be cooked in numerous ways. Both blend well with a variety of seasonings, be it with Indian spices, Chinese style or some dry herbs.

Ingredients:
Eggs - 5
Onion - 1 medium
Mini Bell Peppers/Capsicum - 2
Garlic - 2 big cloves
Ginger (grated) - 1/2 tsp
Coriander/Cilantro Leaves - few sprigs
Cumin/Jeera Powder - 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp
Soy Sauce - 1 tbsp
Vinegar - 1 tbsp
Salt
Oil

How to cook Stir fried Boiled eggs:
  • Boil the eggs in about 6 cups water for about 20 minutes. After cooling, peel the shells and dice each egg into two parts.
  • Finely chop onions, bell peppers (I used yellow and red), garlic and cilantro.
  • Heat about 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add onions, garlic and little salt. Sauté until onions soften. Add bell peppers and sauté for about 2 minutes.
  • Now add soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper powder, cumin and cayenne pepper. For an additional flavor, you can add 1 tbsp Schezuan sauce too. Sauté for a minute and add halved eggs, cilantro. Cook it covered at low flame for about 5 minutes. Carefully sauté for another minute or so, without mashing the eggs.
  • You can try a few variations too. Add chopped or pureed tomatoes if you like a little gravy for the eggs. Also, you can try other seasonings like Tandoori Masala, Kabab Masala, Garam Masala, Chat Masala, Chipotle Seasoning etc.
  • Instead of cilantro, you can use kasuri methi/dry fenugreek leaves or other herbs like pudina/mint as well.
Serve Stir fried Boiled Eggs as a side dish with rice or roti.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
