102th way to make egg curry

its been 4 weeks...and i haven't done anything other than washing plates and cooking rice...
but now one of my roomie has left and now pressure was building up..
cooking..a field which i have never ventured in...the mere thought of trying out something in kitchen gave me shivers...after all am experimenting with FOOD...and i ll be putting others also in trouble along with me....i gave a deep sigh and sat down..
i was feeling damn sleepy because of yesterdays production move...the tension was too much...
i got up, cleaned the room and then later got to bed..and now with the thought of preparing something for dinner.....i dozed off....
was a sound sleep for 2hrs...then i got up..washed my face and went to main room..all roomies were sitting in main room...i asked...what u guys want for dinner....i still don't know what made me ask that question...may be the water really didn't wash off the sleep...
roomies said...just make anything...that will do.. i went straight to fridge, took out egg and put that for boiling..
yeeks...what i have done?? egg curry?? that too my 1st cooking experiment...i should have settled for some onion curry..i looked at the guinea pigs sitting across the room...poor souls...
but now it was time for action..

i looked around...what all do i need...yeah...some onion, tomato...and there goes my recipe for egg curry..

1. Take out enough egg and boil for 15mins
2. cut a full onion into small round pieces and fry it in vegetable oil, till it turn brownish
3. slice tomato and add wen the onion is brownish enough
4. Add some salt and look out to ur shelf...make sure u put all the powders that is within an arms distance from u. I tried chilli powder, turmeric powder and masala powder.( you can add few more at ur own risk and depending on what all u can reach out to)
5. Add some water to make it a paste. once the paste is set, add more water and make it watery
6. Slice the boiled shell less egg into two and place it in a decorative manner so that it atleast looks good...
7. Put on the lid and keep it for sometime, till the water gets dried up and you get a semi gravy.

This is 102th way to make egg curry...

But to my surprise it tasted good... one of the best i ever tasted i must say..a simplified version of preapring egg curry....
so thats a proof for my culinary skill... man am good in that too...felt good..

hope to post more of Ajay's recipe's in coming weeks..
