Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Egg Curry and Egg Masala?
Egg Masala has a much thicker, drier, and more spiced coating compared to the soupy Egg Curry.
Is this dish spicy?
Yes, it leans towards a hotter, more robust spice profile.
Are the eggs cut or whole?
The eggs are usually halved so the yolks can absorb some of the rich masala flavors.
Can I request a milder version?
Yes, we can reduce the chili powder, but the masala will still remain well-seasoned.
What bread pairs best?
Flaky lachha paratha or tandoori roti are good for scooping up the thick masala.
About Egg Masala
Egg masala is the thick, dry member of the North Indian egg family. Where egg curry keeps its boiled eggs in a loose gravy, the masala version cooks them into a heavily spiced onion-tomato base reduced until it is closer to a stir-fry than a sauce. It is a bolder, drier take on the same idea, eaten with bread that can scoop up the clinging masala.
To make it, we cook down onion and tomato with ginger, garlic, green chilli and fresh coriander into a thick masala, using spices ground fresh in the kitchen each morning rather than store-bought blends. Hard-boiled eggs, usually halved so the yolks pick up the seasoning, are folded and scrambled into it until well coated. The eggs are bought fresh daily from Makro. The kitchen is halal-friendly with no pork on the premises and no alcohol in the food, and while this is one of our hotter egg dishes, our chef, trained in Uttarakhand, can reduce the chilli, though the masala stays well seasoned.
The flavour is robust and quite spicy, a thick, dry coating of roasted onion, tomato and chilli wrapped around soft egg, with coriander on top. It is markedly drier and hotter than the soupy Egg Curry, and richer and more saucy than the loose, scrambled Egg Bhurji.
Serve it hot with a flaky lachha paratha or tandoori roti, both good for scooping up the thick masala, or with toasted bread or pav. A cooling raita and some raw onion balance the heat well.
