Viral Egg Dish Recipe: The food community on the Internet never fails to surprise us. From chocolate golgappe to oreo maggi, we have some out-of-the-box creations. Agree? Well, adding to the list is 'egg matar curry'. The clip begins with a giant cooking pot filled with water. Right in the middle of this, the cook places a smaller bowl of water. Then comes the layering of flavour: chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies, ginger, and garlic - all tossed into the pot, not in the bowl, but around it. In that smaller bowl? She adds some green peas. Already confused? Hang in there.
In another bowl, eggs are cracked open. Chilli flakes, a pinch of salt, and a vigorous whisk later, that egg mixture is placed on top of the pea bowl, stacked like some kind of double-boiler tower. The lid goes on. The wait begins.

Eventually, the bowls are removed, and the steam-cooked eggs are taken out. At this point, they look firm and fluffy, like a delicate egg loaf. Meanwhile, the veggies that were swimming in the surrounding water are now pulled out and blended into a smooth paste. This paste is sautéed in oil with classic Indian spices until the oil separates - a proper tadka.
The egg "loaf"? Sliced into neat cubes, resembling paneer. The boiled peas and these egg cubes go back into the simmering gravy. After a few stirs and a generous handful of chopped coriander, it's done. What sits in the pot now looks like your classic matar paneer - except it's all egg.
It's the kind of recipe that makes you go: “Wait, what did I just watch?” But also, you're probably bookmarking it to try this weekend. Click here to watch the video.
