A delicious, simple and traditional Pakistani lunch - this Aloo Anday recipe is a pure comfort food. Serve with plain white basmati rice
Ingredients
pantry
- 0.33 cupoil
- 2 smalltomatoes (chopped)
- 1salt (to taste)
- 1 tspcumin seeds
- 0.5 tspturmeric powder
- 2 mediumpotatoes (chopped into equal sized chunks)
- 4eggs
produce
- 1 mediumonion (finely diced)
- 3-4 cloves of garlic (chopped or minced)
- 1 tspcoriander powder
- 1 tspchilli powder (or to taste)
- 1a small handful of chopped coriander
Steps
- Heat the oil in a pot.
- Once well heated, add the chopped onions.
- Stir continuously to avoid burning or uneven browning
- Once the onions are light gold, add the garlic and cumin seeds.
- Stir these in for a few moments
- Add the chopped tomatoes and all the remaining spices
- Saute the tomatoes and once they have broken down for the most part, add a splash of water, cover with a lid and turn the heat down to low
- Allow this to cook for a few minutes.
- Once most of the water has dried out, take off the lid.
- At this point, you can either blitz everything in a food processor or continue to add some more water and cook down the masala.
- By the end of this step, you want a smooth paste with minimal chunks of onion or tomato visible though.
- Once your masala is smooth and ready, add 1.5 cups of water and the potatoes.
- Cover with a lid and cook on low till the potatoes are tender
- Meanwhile, boil your eggs in a separate pot. 8 minutes was enough for me to get a slightly soft yolk as shown in the images.
- Halve once done (optional)
- Once your potatoes are tender, turn off the heat and stir in the coriander
- Once you are ready to serve, dish out the curry and place in the halved eggs yolk side up, Optionally, garnish the final piece with more chopped coriander
