Main Dish Indian Healthy

Steps

Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over low-medium heat.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and garam masala and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 6-7 minutes.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and stir everything together.
Cook until the eggs are no longer runny, about 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle with cumin and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over plain basmati rice.

Tips for Indian Egg Broccoli Curry

Cut the broccoli florets to a similar size so they soften evenly alongside the diced carrot.
The curry is ready when the eggs look set throughout and no glossy, liquid egg remains.
Have the rice ready before the curry finishes; the eggs are best served promptly rather than held warm.

Drink pairing

A crisp, off-dry Riesling
Its refreshing acidity and gentle fruit balance the buttery curry and complement the warm spices.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the eggs may become firmer.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the broccoli is tender?

A fork should pierce a floret with slight resistance; it should hold its shape rather than turn mushy.

Can I make the curry ahead?

It is best freshly cooked, since the eggs can firm up as they sit. You can dice the carrot and cut the broccoli ahead, then refrigerate them until cooking.
