How to make Kerala style egg stew
You definitely would have heard and tried beef stew, chicken stew in your life! How about egg stew? Is that something new to you?
Egg stew is Indian classic dish stew popular from the Southern India, Kerala. It’s subtle spiced, creamy and nutritious!
Hard boiled eggs in onion base stew which is spiced with chili powder, dried red chilies makes the most comforting and healthy stew that is best served with rice string hoppers.
- Start by making the onion base for the stew. For this you’ll need lots and lots of sliced onions. Heat oil in a pan. Vegetable oil is good.
- Saute dried fennel seeds, cumin seeds, wait until it splutters.
- Add lots of thinly sliced onions and saute until it turns pink.
- Add chopped ginger and garlic along with sliced green chilies.
- Mix all spice powders in a teaspoon of water and add it to the pan.
- Wait until spices cook through. You should see oil separating from the sides of the pan.
- Thin coconut milk is poured in next.
- Pro-Tip: Fresh coconut flesh that is ground in blender with little water. Milk that is strained and extracted is first extract or thick coconut milk.
- Thin coconut milk is the second extract of coconut milk. The strained residues of coconut flesh is added back to blender and little more water is added and blend. Strained. The milk you get is thinner in consistency and usually used to curries and stews while boiling, this second extract does not split.
- Once stew reaches it consistency, hard boiled eggs are added to the stew and allow to simmer for few minutes.
- Serve warm with freshly homemade string hoppers.
