Egg curry without ginger and garlic is bright red but mild n slightly sweet, doesn't have too many spice powders made in instant pot using pot in pot method.

Egg curry without ginger garlic is more of a time saver curry in a hurry kind of recipe. Simply cook eggs and onion together without contaminating each other. This considerably reduces onion softening saute time compared to sautéing in a pan on stove top. It also reduces onion fumes considerably which makes you cry while sautéing. Especially useful for people suffering from chronic sneeze allergies.

Easy egg curry

NOTE: Instant pot can be used to make the entire curry just make sure not to burn the spices when adding to the oil as burnt flavor can destroy the taste of the egg curry. Use saute mode for sautéing the base of the curry.

How to stop onion from making you cry ?

When an onion is cut open, it releases the sulfoxides and enzymes, the reaction produces a gas called syn-propanethial-S-oxide which makes you cry.
1. Among all the home remedies floating the most successful one is to turn on the kitchen exhaust or stove hood, put it on max/high and cut onion on the counter space closest to it. This ensures all the fumes are absorbed, circulates fresh air reduces tearing up to a great extent.
2. Use a chopper electric or manual. Since its closed the fumes are reduced.
3. Pressure cook onion this exposes you less to the fumes

Coconut oil is the prominent flavor in this curry and not the spices.

Ingredients substitutes :

Fennel powder : Use garam masala powder instead.

Color : If the curry is too red for your taste add a tbsp or two of coconut milk and it will look orangish in color and taste sweeter.

Tomato: Add tomato paste if you are running out of fresh one or even canned would do.

Add : Whole red chili, Curry leaves can be added with spices (wipe off all the moisture so it won't burst when added to hot oil. Add some cilantro chopped as final garnish.

I am a germabhobe hence mixing raw shell on eggs with other foods is considered contamination. Hence I have used pot in pot method as seen in above picture.

Notes

Make sure to saute the paprika and other powders in the lowest heat or switch off heat once the oil is heated up.As this can burn and smoke fast and you can cough badly from  inhaling it.
Putting eggs in the ice bath helps to remove shell quickly.
