Ingredients
- 300g peeled quail eggs
- 2 onions
- 4 curry roux blocks (approx. 100g)
- 600ml water
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the 300g of peeled quail eggs. Rinse them briefly under running water and drain any excess moisture. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and wash the 2 onions. Slice them into medium-thick strips, about 0.5cm wide. This thickness will provide a pleasant texture in the curry.
Step 3
Heat 3 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Add the peeled quail eggs and stir-fry them slowly. Be cautious: high heat can cause the quail eggs to burst, so medium-low heat is key to achieving a nice golden brown color without scorching.
Step 4
Once the quail eggs are lightly browned, remove them from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the sliced onions. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté the onions until they turn a rich brown color. Caramelizing the onions deeply enhances the curry’s natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
Step 5
Return the fried quail eggs to the pot with the caramelized onions. Pour in 600ml of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Step 6
As soon as the water starts boiling, skim off any foam that rises to the surface for a clearer broth. Reduce the heat to medium, add the 4 curry roux blocks, and stir gently until the blocks dissolve completely, creating a smooth, thick sauce.
Step 7
Simmer the curry until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, continue simmering for a few more minutes. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more water to adjust.
Step 8
Your delicious Grilled Quail Egg Curry is ready! The sweetness from the caramelized onions and the satisfying chewiness of the fried quail eggs create a wonderfully balanced dish. Serve hot over rice for a truly satisfying meal.
