Description

A comforting and flavorful dish featuring hard boiled eggs gently simmered in a creamy coconut milk sauce with tender onions and warm spices, served over fluffy rice for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large hard boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked

Instructions

  1. Cook the long grain white rice according to package instructions and set aside, keeping warm.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced yellow onion and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add curry powder, ground turmeric, and ground cumin. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Add salt and black pepper, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add the hard boiled eggs, leaving some whole and halving others if desired. Spoon sauce over the eggs.
  8. Simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes so the eggs absorb the flavor, avoiding a rapid boil.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top and adjust seasoning if needed.
  10. Serve the eggs and coconut milk sauce over warm cooked rice.

Notes

  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer to prevent the coconut milk from separating.
  • For extra brightness, add a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • The sauce may thicken as it cools, simply add a splash of water when reheating if needed.
