Bengali Egg Curry – Dimir Jhol

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time40 mins

Directions

1

Heat your pan on medium heat and add 2-3 tbsp of vegetable oil. Saute your hard boiled eggs for a 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until a slight golden color appears on the sides of the eggs. Take the eggs off the heat and set aside.

2

Add the rest of your oil to the pan. Add in your onions and saute for about 4-5 minutes until a golden color forms.

3

Add your ginger and garlic paste and stir around for 1 minute. Add in all your spices (turmeric, cumin, chili, coriander, and curry powder). If your pan is getting dry add a little water to prevent the bottom from sticking. Do this as needed instead of adding more oil. Usually about a cup to a cup and half of water is used during this process.

4

Add the tomatoes and fry for another 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes have completely melted. Once the tomatoes are melted, add in your desired amount of water (I usually add about 2-3 cups). If you don't like jhol or the broth use less water. Let your curry simmer for about 5-8 minutes.

5

Add back in your eggs and stir around carefully for another 5 minutes. Add in your optional garnishes (cilantro and chilis) and enjoy over rice!
