1 - Wonderful! I made adjustments to use what I had on hand. I've made note, but I'm looking forward to trying this with fresh tomato to taste the difference.
2 - Still very good. Ben suggested that it's a very versatile recipe. He would like to see if upping the amount of spices would work.
3 - Fresh tomato is a clear winner in my books.
4 - I think I got it down! On to the 3 tests.
5 - Made it again, and it was good.
4 6 large or extra large eggs, hard-boiled
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cumin seed
1 medium (100gr) onion, finely chopped
3-inch piececassia bark or cinnamon stick, broken in half
2 tsps ground corianderor coriander seed, toasted and pounded
1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium or 1 large ripe tomato, pureed (about 3/4 cup or 10oz.)
1 cup water
1 Tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cumin seed
1 medium (100gr) onion, finely chopped
3-inch piece
2 tsps ground coriander
1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium or 1 large ripe tomato, pureed (about 3/4 cup or 10oz.)
1 cup water
1 Tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
- Peel the cooked eggs and let them soak in water to cover while you prepare the sauce. This soaking seems to prevent the whites from getting too rubbery. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet or wide, shallow pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seed and cook, stirring, for about 15 seconds, until slightly darkened and fragrant.
- Add the onion and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes, until the onion starts to brown. Add the coriander, red pepper flakes, turmeric, garlic, and salt.
- Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, until the garlic has lightly fried and is aromatic.
- Lower the heat and add the tomato. Cook
ingfor 3 to 5 minutes, stirring, until it no longer smells raw. Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavor. - Meanwhile, drain the eggs, pat them dry, then halved each lengthwise. When the sauce has finished simmering, uncover and slide the eggs in, cut side up. Increase the heat to medium-low and simmer the eggs, spooning sauce on
thetop, until the eggs are hot. Adjust the heat as necessary. The sauce should cook down and thicken a bit during this final stage. - Transfer the eggs and sauce to individual serving dishes or a communal dish. Garnish with the cilantro and serve immediately.
