If you’re looking for a tasty and easy scrambled egg and potato curry that takes under 30 minutes to make, try this recipe.
Scrambled Egg and Potato Curry
Scrambled egg and potato curry is a curry made with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and a blend of spices that give it a unique taste.
What’s great about this dish is that it’s versatile and can be enjoyed any time of the day—whether for lunch or dinner.
This curry goes perfectly with rice, and I also love making another egg curry dish at home—boiled egg potato curry. It’s another equally delicious variation of this recipe.
Either way, you’ll have a great side dish to enjoy with your rice.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this curry:
Potatoes: You will need potatoes peeled and diced into small cubes. This makes them easier to cook. I am using small red potatoes for this recipe.
Spices: Turmeric powder, red chili powder (kashmiri powder), coriander powder, and cumin powder.
Eggs: The other main ingredient is eggs.
Oil: Olive oil or any vegetable oil.
Onions, tomatoes and cilantro: Finely chopped white onion and roma tomatoes.
Ginger, garlic paste, and salt.
Instructions
- Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Next, add the chopped potato to the pan and continue to saute until it turns slightly brown.
- Add ginger, garlic, and spices (turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder) to the pan and stir well.
- Saute for another few minutes.
- Next, add chopped tomatoes to the pan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Put the lid on the pan and cook over medium heat for 5–6 minutes until the tomatoes are mushy and cooked.
- Add the eggs to the pan.
- Stir thoroughly to combine the eggs with the potato mixture.
- Next, add water and let it simmer for the next 8-10 minutes with the lid on.
- Finally, season the curry with salt and cilantro.
- Serve hot with rice or roti.
