Duck Egg Curry

Duck egg curry is considered a delicacy in Bengal. Since it isn't easily available in the US, I look forward to Summer when I could buy them from the farmers' market. Our cooking lady was allowed to make a very spicy duck egg curry, as it was prepared once in a while. I also prefer making it a little on the spicier side because of the powerful taste the eggs have. Here is the recipe for you.

Ingredients:
12 Duck eggs boiled
2 tbsp mustard oil
1/4 chopped onion
1.5 tbsp garlic paste
1.5 tbsp ginger paste
1 tsp cumin powder
.5 tsp mace powder
2,3 green chilies chopped
1/2 can tomato juice
Salt and sugar per taste
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp red chili powder

Recipe:
Boil the eggs and cut in halves
Heat oil, add some turmeric, salt and red chili powder to color the oil
Add halved eggs to this oil to fry well. Eggs will take a beautiful red color
take out the eggs, add some more oil
Add onion to this oil, fry well
Add ginger garlic paste, and saute till oil leaves the spices
Add the dry spices
Add tomato juice instead of water to make sure spices don't get stuck at the bottom
Add green chilies
Add some water to this and bring to the boil
Add the eggs to this gravy, yolk side up
Take out the eggs carefully
Pour the gravy on top of the eggs
