Dimer Dalna | Bengali Egg Curry with Potato

For the love of "গরগরে লাল" (red hot!) Dimer Dalna I finally have decided to post this recipe. There's nothing much to be said about this classic Bengali delicacy. This simple Bengali-style egg and potato curry is one of the best forms of egg curry for sure.

I posted the recipe of Hanser Dimer Dalna aka Duck Egg curry long back on Debjanir Rannaghar. This new post is about a more generalized form of the same recipe cooked with chicken egg. Here I have used Chicken Egg along with Potato chunks and made the curry following the typical process of making Bengali Dimer Dalna.

Dimer Dalna, the no-nonsense Bengali Delicacy!

A dish that any egg-loving Bengali cooks at least twice or thrice a month is obviously no-nonsense. This is I think one of the recipes I learned in the initial days when I started cooking. I cooked it when I was at home. I cooked it when I was in the hostel. When I was in Bihar and was living alone I used to cook this almost twice a week; After marriage, both I and Mehebub cook it whenever there is no fancy ingredient available in the kitchen or one of us does not want to cook elaborately! Even Pasta knows how important Dimer Dalna is!

Jokes apart, Dimer Dalna aka Bengali Egg Curry with Potato chunks is a classic Bengali Egg-based curry. The recipe varies from family to family however, the basic spices are almost the same. Dimer Dalna is basically a comfort dish cherished and cooked by Bengalis. I think it is as loved as Mangshor Jhol! Deep-fried boiled egg cooked with potato chunks in a gravy of onion, tomato, and ginger garlic to the level of perfection is ultimate bliss.

Dimer Dalna aka Bengali Egg Curry!

The presence of Alu makes dimer Dalna different from other Egg curries including another form of Bengali Egg curries. Bengali Dalna curry is characterized by the cut of the potato and the way spices are used in it. A big potato is cut into four pieces which means the size of the potato is half if compared to the potato from Mangshor Jhol. The spices are basic, however, Bengali Garam Masala, Asafoetida, Ghee, and Ginger paste are a must when it comes to Dalna curry.
