Fried quail eggs with onions and tomatoes

Directions

1. First, boil the quail eggs in a pot of water with a pinch of salt for 5 to 7 minutes. ⏱ 7 min
2. After cooking, immediately place the eggs in cold water and gently remove the shells. ≈ 3 min
3. In the peeled eggs, mix a pinch of salt and a small amount of turmeric powder. ≈ 4 min
4. (If you wish, you can gently rub the shell to make it easier to open the egg). ≈ 3 min
5. In a pan on the stove, heat up some oil paint. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
6. Once the oil paint is heated, add the eggs and cook them over medium heat until they are lightly golden. ⏱ ≈ 8 min
7. (Don’t overcook the eggs; they should remain soft). ⏱ ≈ 10 min
8. Add the chopped onion back to the same oil used to fry the eggs. ⏱ ≈ 8 min
9. Cook the onion over medium heat until it is lightly golden. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
10. Once the onions are cooked, add garlic paste and ginger paste, and mix for 1 minute to remove the strong aroma of the spices. ⏱ 1 min
11. Add a small amount of water to prevent the spices from burning. ≈ 3 min
12. Then, add the remaining turmeric powder, chili powder, cilantro, cumin, and salt to the pan, and continue to mix well. ⏱ ≈ 7 min
13. Once the spices have been added and the oil paint begins to thicken, add the chopped tomatoes. ≈ 3 min
14. Stir until the tomatoes have softened and are fully incorporated with the spices, creating a paste. ≈ 4 min
15. Once the spices have been cooked thoroughly, add the pre-cooked eggs. ≈ 3 min
16. Gently mix the eggs with the spices for about 2 minutes. ⏱ 2 min
17. Next, add about half a cup to a little more than a cup of hot water to the stew, to moisten it (since the stew is already cooked, it’s not necessary to add a lot of water). ≈ 3 min
18. Once the sauce begins to simmer, add the fresh chili peppers, sliced thinly. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
19. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. ⏱ 5 min
20. Once the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, and the reddish oil from the spices coats the surface, sprinkle it with chopped parsley and a pinch of chili powder. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
21. Cover again and let simmer over low heat for another 1 to 2 minutes, then turn off the heat. ⏱ 2 min
