Egg Recipes

[Alan]

I think an Egg Recipe Thread is a must have in our forumhub.

Please post your delicious Egg Recipes/tips to cook etc in this thread.

I have a doubt. Can you cook Egg in a microwave? Has anyone done this before? How long?

[RedPepper]

[tscii:16a8c0c06a]If you try to microwave eggs in their shells, they will explode! My husband tried to reheat a boiled egg in the microwave; it exploded with loud noise and made a big mess.

You can poach eggs in a microwave. I have a microwave egg poacher that cooks up to 4 eggs at a time. I only used it once because I don’t like poached eggs. (I tried this egg poacher for making idlis in the microwave and it worked great. :) ) This is how it looks like: http://www.cutleryandmore.com/img/5449.jpg You need to pour a couple of teaspoons of water, then crack the egg into this dish and poke a few holes on the yolks before microwaving. I think you can use any microwave safe bowl to poach an egg. It takes very little time to cook an egg. I guess 1 to 2 minutes, then you need to let it stand for a few minutes to complete the cooking process. Don’t overcook them.

You can also scramble an egg in the microwave. In this case, you may need to stop the microwave and stir the egg a few times during the cooking time.

Egg Ghee roast

Hard boil eggs, (for 12-15 min). Slice into two. I use a piece of sewing thread to cut it neatly, instead of a knife.
In a non-stick pan heat 1/2 to 1 tsp of ghee per egg. when it is hot, take the pan away from the flame. Put in salt, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp red chilli pow, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix. place the egg halves and coat the egg with the spice sauce. Return the pan to heat. let the egg heat thro. switch off the flame.
This I make as a side dish for dinner, when there is no spicy dish around.
Try it and let me know if u like it.

Hey! I tried frying the boiled eggs in a chickpea batter along with chilli , coriander, salt & pepper powders & sprinkled corriander leaves, its a great tea-time snack!

[Anoushka]

Egg masala: Boil eggs and cut them into two and leave it aside.

In a pan, heat oil, add mustard and after it starts spluttering ad urad dal. Fry a bit till it gets brown and then add finely sliced onions and fry till transparent. To this add tomatoes and cook till the oil separates. Add chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Add the egg pieces now to the pan and top it with the gravy. Add chopped corriander and curry leaves on top and leave for 10-15mins and wait for the gravy to seep into the egg.... Serve with rice or Roti :)

Are you using eggs with all this bird flu thing going on? I'm not sure I would want those for a loooooooong time.

[RedPepper]

Are you using eggs with all this bird flu thing going on? I'm not sure I would want those for a loooooooong time.

What bird flu?? :lol:
Not here man!
My parents in India asked the same question.
We use chicken and eggs. So far, no problem.

[Alan]

my parents and relatives are still wondering about Chicken or Mutton Biriyani for the wedding reception next month- Mutton seems to be the choice now because of this bird flu but is much costlier!

[RedPepper]

[tscii:40ab2e468f]Mutton would be the best choice there for the non-veg people. With the bird flu stuff going on, you don’t want the guests to worry about the food you are serving.
Oh the big day is so close....... All the best again. :) [/tscii:40ab2e468f]

[Alan]

Thanks Red Pepper! Exactly one month- Its on April 15th- I'll be flying to Faridkot on the 12th of April- There's a small function on the wedding eve(14th), then marriage & reception- gonna be hectic but happy days ahead!

When ground coconut is boiled for a few minutes (even for
a few minutes) won't the oil from coconut separate out? I
would recommend grinding the coconut separately and add the ground coconut at last and then stop the flame.

I don't think oil would come out so soon... We normally grind coconut for kzhulambus & kurmas along with the other ingredients & add it to the curry with the vegs& let cook until done... I have not noticed any oil oozing out or floating on the curry...

Dev,

Braandan is right. When ground coconut is boiled you will get oil. But to be able to "see" the oil, there should be a large amount of ground coconut which has to be boiled for hours on end. The oil which separates, has medicinal value in its pure form, and is used along with herbs and such, externally for pain relief and general healing.

It would be preferable if the arappu is added after the veggies or non veg items are almost cooked. A minute or two at the most should be the norm once arappu is added. The bad publicity which coconut and coconut products attract is usually when it is not used in the right way....

Regards,
Shoba

:? ... pls throw some light on the right way to use coconut...

Reg adding coconut to curries, in our place it's added well before the vegs are cooked... So I too follow it that way whenever I add coconut(very rarely I use coconut though)... But I've seen some of my friends from kerala adding it only at the very end...

Tried out this recipie Kavikuil..and it came out awesome.Just made a few alterations to the recipie.
Instead of grinding all the onions and tomatoes,I ground half and added the other half to the curry.And instead of boiling the mixture in plain water,I boiled it in some tamarind water(chalk it up to being from the south :) )
The resulting curry was really really good.
