Butter Beans & Eggs Stew

This is a stew one of our friends made for lunch a few years back. I started adding the egg to it more recently, when I was experimenting on another dish a friend's mom used to make. Its so simple, yet so tasty. 


Ingredients: Butter Beans - 1 can (16 oz); 1 small onion - diced; 1 ripe tomato - chopped;  Curry powder - 1 tsp; Salt & Pepper to taste; Egg - 1; Green Chili - 1 diced; turmeric - 1/2 pinch, Cayenne pepper - 1/4 tsp, mustard seeds & cumin - 1/4 tsp.
  • In a pot, add olive oil and once hot, temper the mustard & cumin seeds, add the sliced onions, green chili and saute till translucent
  • Add the tomatoes & let it cook for a couple of minutes
  • Add the curry powder, salt, pepper, cayenne and turmeric, let it cook for about 5 minutes
  • Add the beans, cook for a few more minutes
  • Ad enough water to submerge the beans. Let it come to a boil
  • Once the sauce starts to thicken, beat the egg lightly and add, mix thoroughly.
  • Turn off the heat when the eggs are cooked. Serve hot with rice!
I am also sending this dish to MLLA #51, as the event is starting it's 4th year. Congratulations to Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook for starting and to Desi Soccer Mom for hosting this month's event!

  1. Thanks for the entry Bala. I have never heard of eggs in a bean curry but it sounds interesting. The roundup will be up later this week.
