EGG Curry - in a Hurry

.
Hi Friends, how is the weather???

It's really hot in San Francisco, welcome summer, not that I am jumping with joy.  Our Air condition is not working and I am not in my best behavior.  Walking around fuming at everyone is not working either.... Funny how we look into perfection with the weather and everyone around right?

I want to eat something spicy, is it too much to ask.  Today's post is a simple egg curry I made.  Sometimes, just the basics can be underestimated.   It's a quick authentic curry, perfect for a day like this when I don't feel on top of the world..

I had some masala which I had frozen in a ziploc from a week ago.  The chicken curry I made didn't need that much of the curry/masala, so the leftover worked perfect for the egg curry a week later.  How much easier can it get?  I was not up for any kind of cooking today with a weather like this but don't we moms still have to feed our younglings...

Oil in a pan, with some cumin, added the paste and let it simmer.  Broke some eggs directly into the masala , and let it simmer for 15 minutes covered and VOILA, we had curry and some satisfied customers.

3. Once the onion is turned a little golden brown, add the tomatoes and fry for 2 minutes or a little bit of the water is dried out from the tomatoes.
4. Add coconut fry for a minute and switch off the flame.
5. Once the mixture is completely cooled down, grind it to a fine paste.
6.  At this point you can freeze this mixture in a ziploc or an airtight container for 2 weeks.  Defrost it in the refrigerator the night before whenever you are ready to cook the curry.
