    Egg Malai Gravy is a simple delicious egg gravy which serves as a great sidedish for roti, naan, pulao etc. This Egg Malai Gravy is without tomatoes and tastes too good. Egg Malai Gravy Recipe is explained here with step by step pictures and video.

    Generally we make egg masala with onion tomato base but this gravy is very simple and easy to make. Hubby who is not fond of tomato based gravies loves this which is the main reason for me to try no tomato dishes. This is gugus favorite as its less spicy when comapred to tomato based gravies.

    About Egg Malai Gravy

    There are numerous ways to make egg curry likewise and this is one of the easiest I would claim. Besides, each household have their own way of try egg gravies and this quick version with cream is our family favourite. Do try this and enjoy!

    To begin with first grind onion,green chillies to a  paste. Saute in oil for about 15 mins along with ginger garlic paste. This sauteing is the main step as we are adding raw paste, the raw smell should completely go. Then add spice powders along with milk and cook covered for few mins or until oil seperates. Then add fresh cream, finally add sliced eggs (with yolk side up) long with coriander leaves. Cook covered for few mins, splash gravy over eggs and switch off. Egg Malai Masala ready!

    Expert Tips

    • You can thin the gravy by adding little more milk if you like it that way.

    Variations

    • I used homemade malai – I collect the malai(adai) after boiling to make butter. So I used this, You can use store bought fresh cream too.
    • In addition, you can add 3-5 cashews too while grinding to make gravy more rich.
    • Instead of adding ginger garlic paste, you can grind 3 cloves garlic and an 1/2 inch ginger piece along with onion.
    • I used country eggs, hard boiled in my instant pot. Generally you can use white eggs, boil in a sauce pan for 10 mins.
    • Skip cumin powder and add cumin seeds while tempering for a variation.

    Serving & Storage

    Serve Egg Malai Masala with roti, phulka, chapathi, naan, kulcha or even for mild pulao or any variety rice. I served it together with soft ghee phulkas and it was soo good.

    Generally this Egg Masala keeps well in room temperature for a day. Otherwise, when refrigerated it stays good for 2 more days. No recommendation for freezing.

      This tasted great. I added 2 cups milk, and 1 split green chili right at the end because I found it to be a bit sweet. I also didn’t add the coriander leaves. Served with pulao and amazing!
