Indonesian-Style Egg Curry with Crispy Onions

over rice with coriander & cucumber

Recipe Developer Steffi: "This recipe was inspired by 'telor belado', an Indonesian egg dish that my grandmother often served. Traditionally, the ingredients for the boemboe are ground by hand in a 'cobek' (mortar). I went for the easy version here and used the food processor. Less work, but just as tasty!"

Cooking Steps

Boil the rice
1
  • Boil plenty of water in two pots or saucepans. Discard the tips of the green beans and then cut in half. Wash the eggs.
  • In one pot, cook the rice for 12 - 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • In the other pot, boil the eggs for 4 minutes.
  • Add the green beans and cook for another 2 - 4 minutes. Remove both from the pot and rinse under cold water.
Prepare the vegetables
2
  • Roughly chop the onion and transfer to a tall container.
  • Add the garlic and then use an immersion blender to process into a paste. Remove from the container and set aside.
  • Roughly chop the tomato and transfer to the same container, then process with the immersion blender (see Tip).

Tip: you can also finely dice the tomato if you'd prefer the paste to have more texture.

Make the curry
3
  • Heat a generous drizzle of sunflower oil in a large wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the onion mixture with the tomato paste for 2 - 3 minutes, along with some sambal as preferred.
  • Add the fresh tomato, the Javanese wok paste, the sugar, the ketjap and the soy sauce. Mix well and fry for 2 more minutes. 
  • Peel the eggs in the meantime.
Serve
4
  • Add the coconut milk, eggs and green beans to the wok. Cook for 2 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Roughly chop the coriander and slice the cucumber into crescents.
  • Serve the rice and curry on deep plates with the cucumber alongside.
  • Garnish with the crispy onions and the coriander.
