"Spicy Egg~ Potato~ Pineapple Hara Masala" ... this is a take off curry of my own which I prepared with addition of pineapple for sourness to Egg Curry to which I added on boiled potatoes and hara (green masala) ... sometimes curries prepared on a hunch really turn off well ... you can serve this curry with any accompaniment of your choice ... but in my opinion it taste best served with roti/ paratha/ pulav / naan or panpole (Neer Dosa) than with spiced rice items like pulav, ghee rice etc... though it does go well with all .... Yummilicious ...
** Eggs are something always available in my fridge. The phrase “Sunday ho ya Monday roz khaye Ande” I feel was adapted looking at my fridge itself. Eggs are so handy at times, be it for breakfast or lunch/dinner you can make something out of them in a jiffy. Eggs are so versatile they can be had as omelet, in curries, added to cakes and the best of all is when scrambled or in hot soups.
** Here I have tried something different as there was a large pineapple at home and they need to be always consumed fast. I have already made many items out of pineapple so for sourness in the Egg curry thought of adding them. Why Not?. Pineapple is a user friendly fruit that goes well when mixed with many items, be it in curries, rice, ice creams, salads, fruit salads, pulav’s etc. and trust me it did.
** Here is my very own recipe for "Spicy Egg~ Potato~ Pineapple Hara Masala" ....
** Hard Boil 2-4 eggs (motto/ andey), shell them and keep them ready. For the method of perfect hard boiling of eggs refer to the link given at the bottom of the recipe.
** Pressure cook 2 medium sized potatoes (batata/ aloo) in enough water to 3 whistles. Let the pressure drop on its own. Remove, let cool, peel of the skin and cut into 4 quarter pieces. Keep this ready aside.
** Slice off the coarse spiny skin of the pineapple, remove the eyes on the flesh part of the pineapple and cut the inner flesh into piece the size similar to potatoes. You should have about 12 pieces of them. Put this in 1 cup of water and cook on fire till it cooks a bit remove and keep aisde. Alternatively you can microwave it for 4-5 minutes and keep it ready. I usually follow the microwave method.
** To be ground to a fine paste : Add one cup of freshly grated coconut, one large sized onion cut to pieces, 6-8 peeled and chopped garlic, ½ inch piece of ginger, 6-8 green chillies chopped (plus or minus depending upon individual taste), 1 tsp garam masala powder, 1tsp jeera powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp fennel powder into a mixer grinder and grind to a fine paste with 1 cup of water.
** When the masala is almost done add in 4 cups of cleaned and chopped coriander leaves (kottambari pallo/ dhania) and further grind all till you get a very fine paste. Do not add more water, just use as much as required only, we need a fine thick paste for the curry.
** Heat a kadai with 2-3 tblsp of ghee, when hot add ½ cup of split cashew nuts and fry till golden brown. Add 8-10 fresh curry leaves and fry for a minute. Now add in the ground masala and fry for 5 mins on medium heat. Add in the pineapple and potato pieces, salt to taste, eggs and mix well. Add more water to the above if necessary to get a thick gravy consistency.
** Let the curry come to a full boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Keep stirring in between to avoid the curry getting burnt to the bottom and add in water if necessary too. When done add a lemon sized ball of fresh butter/ loni and mix well, cook for 2 mins, then remove from fire, cover and keep it aside for 20 minutes for flavors to seep in.
** "Spicy Egg~ Potato~ Pineapple Hara Masala" is done and ready to be served. Serve hot with roti / paratha / pulav / naan or panpole (Neer Dosa). Tastes great with kori rotti too or even ghee rice or pulav. Do try out this delicious recipe and enjoy with your family and friends and don't worry about the addition of pineapple to egg curry, it tastes awesome, sure to be loved by young and old alike, just keep the spice level high for better taste.
