Ingredients
Ingredients
medium potato
1 (peeled and chopped into medium dice)
eggs
2 (hard-boiled)
coriander
1/2 teaspoon (ground)
ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon (ground)
curry powder
2 teaspoons (as is)
salt
1 teaspoon (to taste)
black pepper
1/4 teaspoon (ground)
butter
1 tablespoon (unsalted)
dried cilantro or fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon dried or 1 teaspoon fresh (chopped)
Instructions
1
Start by boiling water in a medium pot. Once boiling, carefully add the eggs, and let them cook for 10 minutes to achieve hard-boiled perfection.
2
After 10 minutes, add salt to the boiling water followed by the diced potato. Allow the eggs and potatoes to boil together for an additional 5 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
3
In a separate small frying pan, add the coriander, ground ginger, curry powder, and black pepper. Toast the spices over low heat for about 2 minutes, or until they release their fragrant aroma.
4
Drain the boiled potatoes and eggs carefully, then return to the frying pan with the toasted spices. Add the butter, allowing it to melt as you stir everything together, ensuring the potatoes are well-coated with the spices.
5
Once the butter has melted, peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pan and gently toss everything together to combine.
6
If the mixture appears dry, add 1/4 cup of water or milk to help create a smooth sauce and facilitate tossing.
7
Finish by stirring in the cilantro and adjusting the salt to taste. Cook for an additional minute to allow all the flavors to meld together and create a harmonious blend.
