Garnish and Serve
Replace eggs with pan-fried paneer cubes or boiled potatoes for a vegetarian version. Add them at the same stage as the eggs.
Stir in 1/4 cup of full-fat yogurt (whisked well) or fresh cream at the very end for a richer, milder curry. Ensure the heat is off to prevent curdling.
Incorporate green peas or diced carrots along with the methi leaves for added texture and nutrition.
Add 1 teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) along with the garam masala for a more intense fenugreek aroma.
Eggs are a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle building, tissue repair, and overall body function.
Fenugreek (methi) leaves are packed with iron, which is vital for blood production and preventing anemia. They are also high in dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.
The curry base includes turmeric, ginger, and garlic, all of which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help strengthen the immune system.
One serving of Methi Anda Curry (approximately 1 cup with 2 eggs) contains around 350-400 calories. This can vary based on the amount of oil used and whether you add cream or yogurt.
Yes, it is a nutritious dish. It provides high-quality protein from eggs, iron and fiber from methi leaves, and beneficial compounds from spices like turmeric. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil used.
The primary way to reduce bitterness is to salt the chopped methi leaves, let them sit for 15 minutes, and then squeeze out the excess liquid. Using only the leaves and discarding the thicker stems also helps.
Absolutely. Thaw the frozen methi leaves completely, then squeeze out as much water as possible before adding them to the masala. You may need to use a slightly smaller quantity by weight compared to fresh leaves.
Yes, this curry stores well. You can prepare it a day in advance and refrigerate it. The flavors will meld and become even richer. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
