Introduction

About this Recipe

Trying to increase fat and protein while decreasing carbohydrates and still maintain an Indian vegetarian vibe, is not easy. Almost impossible, really.

This recipe would go extremely well with a plain basmati rice, but when you’re trying to keep the carbs low….this works well as a stand alone meal.

Equipment

  • 1 Kadai pan,
  • 1 Sauce Pan To boil the eggs

Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs Hard boil (see "prep" below on the best way to hard boil eggs so they peel easily.
  • 3 tbsp Oil I used Sunflower
  • ½ cup Paneer Cut into bit size cubes
  • cup Onion Medium, finely chopped
  • 3 Green chilis Fresh finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Ginger Freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Garlic Freshly pressed
  • 10 Curry leaves Dried, and crushed
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • ½ tsp Black peppercorn Freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro Garden fresh, freshly chopped

Instructions

Prepare the eggs

  • Bring to boil enough water to completely cover the eggs, but don't put the eggs in until the water comes to a boil. Keep eggs in the frig until ready to cook
  • When the water comes to a boil, carefully add the eggs, set a timer for 13 minutes, bring the water to a boil again and turn heat to medium to simmer eggs.
  • When the timer goes off, in 13 minutes, run the eggs under cold water to cool them down. Then cover the eggs with cold water and add ice cubes to facilitate cooling even more. Set aside in the water to cool.
  • Peel the eggs (it should be easy!) and cut in half length wise. Set aside.

Prepare the Paneer

  • Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a kadai pan. Add the cubed paneer and fry for several minutes until lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Prepare the Stir Fry

  • To the kadai pan with the oil in it that was used to fry the paneer (paneer is now out); add the mustard seeds and crushed curry leaves. Saute for a few minutes.
  • Add the chopped onion and green chili and stir fry a few more minutes.
  • Add the crushed garlic, grated ginger and turmeric powder; salt & pepper; cook a few more minutes.
  • Take the eggs and place them cut side down in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat until cut side is browned and maybe a bit crispy!
  • Add the fried paneer and gentle toss all ingredients to mix well. Cover and heat for a few minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Add the chopped cilantro and toss gently to mix.

I always dreaded trying to peel hard boiled eggs. I always ended up basically destroying the egg beyond recognition.

I found the secret and so happy!

  1. Put cold eggs into boiling water
  2. Boil for 13 minutes
  3. Cool immediately in an ice bath

And that’s it! Works like a charm!
