Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 3 medium, pureed Tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 2 small, sliced Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala powder
• 1 teaspoon or to taste Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain the hot water, and submerge the eggs in cold water. Once cooled, peel the shells off and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 3

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sliced green chilies to the pan. Cook until the raw aroma disappears, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the mixture thickens and the oil starts separating from the sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to blend.

Step 6

Add a cup of water to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Adjust the consistency of the gravy as desired.

Step 7

Gently add the boiled and peeled eggs into the masala, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the eggs absorb the spices, cooking for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garam masala and chopped cilantro over the top. Stir gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve the egg masala hot with cooked rice or your choice of Indian bread such as naan or roti.
