If I told you that I whip up amazingly gourmet meals at the drop of a hat for my everyday dinners, then I’d be lying. Quite honestly, I rarely ever cook something that would have me whisking away for hours on end. Except of course, when I have company coming! Now that’s a whole different story altogether. Even then, I’m not spending all those hours on one single dish, but instead, I’m actually going nuts fussing over a minimum of five main courses, which sometimes includes this Palak Egg Curry. Yes, I get like that while entertaining. But the diligent licking of everyone’s fingertips and perplexed weight-watching souls worrying over whether to go in for seconds (thirds, actually) more than makes up for all the effort. When it comes to feeding my family, I prefer to go slightly more easy on myself and this Spinach Egg Curry recipe is one I used quite often. It’s not that I don’t enjoy feeding loved ones with rich palate pleasing favourites – which I do mostly on weekends or special occasions, but I’d rather spend more of my time with them enjoying simple, yet equally delightful food made in minutes. A recent email from one of my readers posed a question I have been subjected to many times. This compelled me to come all out and talk about my everyday at-home meals. She writes, Well, dear reader, all I can say is yes. Well almost. You see, most of my recipes, no matter how elegantly sounding, are actually very simple and wholesome – and ones that I turn to on a weekly basis. While it may seem daunting to someone not so in tune with Indian cuisine, it’s not at all that hard. Most dishes can be made in a matter of minutes, whereas others, that seem to call for a rainbow of spices, may just take a tad bit more time. But yes, sometimes even an adventurous cook like myself, wants to take a break and reach out for the nearest pack of instant noodles. And it’s often in times like these that I faithfully turn to my repertoire of quick fixes. And these, I assure you, can be whipped up real quick – like this Palak Egg Curry recipe I’m sharing with you today. Literally in minutes!
