11 Restaurant-Style Curries With Just 5 Ingredients

5. Tomato Egg Curry: Homely, Restaurant-Style Egg Curry

Ingredients (counted): hard-boiled eggs, tomato puree, onions, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala. Halve boiled eggs and briefly fry cut-side down until lightly golden; this technique gives a restaurant edge and keeps them from soaking up too much sauce. Sauté onions until they are deeply golden to build sweetness, add ginger-garlic paste, then pour in tomato puree and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Nestle the fried eggs into the gravy and simmer gently for five minutes so flavors meld; total time is about 20 minutes. Finish with a dash of garam masala and a few drops of oil on top for shine. Plate with chopped cilantro and a side of warm roti to make a weekday meal feel like a takeaway favorite.
