Hi! This is Smita Deo and welcome to 'Get Curried'.
We all love the Eggs Benedict
but the hero is the Hollandaise Sauce.
We come from a country of Curries and spices and sauces.
So today I thought let's have an Indianised version of this dish.
So before I begin with the recipe
let me just show you how to make some accompaniments
that will go very well with the dish.
So let's make the crispy Potatoes.
For that, I have taken
some Baby Boiled Potatoes
which I have just squished into my palms
and now I am just going to toss them and make them crisp
with some Butter.
Let's toss this in the Butter,
sprinkle some Salt,
Pepper,
and some Chilli powder.
Just let's toss these well and make them nice and crisp.
The Potatoes are done, let's put them on the side.
Next, we are going to make a Salad with some Lettuce and Cherry Tomatoes.
I am going to quickly make a dressing for this.
1/4 tsp Garlic Paste,
some Pepper,
some Salt
and a little bit of Lemon juice.
Just mix this well.
Drizzle some Olive Oil
whisk this well
and let's pour this over the Salad.
Toss this well.
So the Salad and the Potatoes are done, let's keep it aside.
So the next is, I am going to toast some Bread
you can use bread of your choice.
I am using the Brioche.
So I am just going to apply some Butter, very little.
I am just going to make it a little crisp on either side.
While the bread is getting toasted, time to read some comments.
Hi, Anthony Urbanski, thank you for inquiring about my health.
Yes, I am much better, on a road to recovery
and
ya, I will get even more better soon.
Thank you so much.
Now we are going to make our sauce.
We are going to use two Eggs Yolks for this
just gently get the Yolks out
and place them in another bowl.
Let's whisk the Yolks.
Let's add a little bit of Chilli powder to this, 1/4 tsp,
some Lemon juice,
whisk this.
I have some melted Butter here
about 1/4 cup
which I am going to add to the Yolk.
Whisk this really well.
And now we are going to cook this in a water bath.
I have some water that I have kept boiling here
and I am just going to go on whisking this
till the Yolks are cooked.
You need to keep whisking this.
The sauce is nice and thick as you can see.
Let's keep this aside.
The sauce is ready.
If you feel the sauce is thickening too much
you can immediately put it in an ice bath and just keep whisking it
so it doesn't cook further.
So here I have kept some water to boil
to poach the Eggs I am going to add a tsp of Vinegar to this
just let the water come to a boil.
I am going to swirl the water and then I am going to crack an Egg in this.
The swirling of the water will help the Egg white to come together.
I am going to cook this Egg for at least 5 minutes.
I am going to get this poached Egg out
drain off the water completely
and I am going to place this on the toast.
Similarly, let's poach another Egg.
If you find it difficult to poach, you can also fry the Egg and put it on the toast.
Let's pour the sauce.
I am going to garnish it with some Chives
If you don't have Chives, you can just use Coriander as well.
Let's keep the crispy Potatoes, let's put the Salad as well.
I am going to sprinkle some Salt,
little bit of Chilli powder.
Our dish is ready to be served, it's a complete meal.
You can have it for breakfast or for a snack or dinner, any meal of your choice.
It is not a very difficult dish.
If you find poaching an Egg difficult, you can fry it as well.
So do try this recipe
and let me know.
