In this recipe I have used onions and tomatoes as the base for the korma or kuruma but, the richness that comes to the kurma is due to nutty paste that goes into the recipe while going ahead in the making procedure.

Egg is a wonderful ingredient and it can be used as a main ingredient to make various recipes... I often try to innovate various egg recipes for breakfast, lunch or dinners..

Egg is a staple food at home and I keep on trying egg masalas, egg kurmas, egg curries or egg fries in different ways... Eggs go very well with rice and side dishes if they are roasted or fried well...

But here, in this post I have chosen to make a gravy style kurma made using tomatoes, coconut, almonds and cashews...This egg kurma version goes perfectly with pulao recipes or any special rice delicacy... This egg kurma masala is also referred to as muttai kurma or mutta kurma in south indian region...

 Egg kurma can be tried in many ways and the main ingredient that brings out korma like gravy is coconut and dry fruits paste...Adding such rich and nutritious ingredients makes the dish a special, rich flavored delicacy which can go perfect even for the occasions...

This egg kurma is a thick gravy and we can also make it into a consistency we prefer...The recipe requires few ingredients mainly onions and tomatoes and to get the kurma like gravy we are using paste of dry fruits and coconut paste...

Kurma recipes are incomplete without these rich nutty ingredients... The boiled eggs should be added while cooking the gravy and we can also opt to add fried eggs into the egg kurma which enhances the taste even more...

If we would like to try out something special with eggs then this kurma curry surely is a do try recipe which has rich onion tomato nuts kurma gravy which goes perfect with any rice variety...

      Yes Marina you can make a paste of all the ingredients together...But first make a powder of all the ingredients, then add water and make a paste...Doing this way gives us a smooth paste...
