Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 2 small green chilies
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl of cold water, then peel them once cooled.

Step 2

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chilies. Set them aside.

Step 3

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Step 4

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and mushy.

Step 6

Add coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook the spices for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

Step 7

Add half a cup of water to the mixture and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Make small cuts on the boiled eggs to allow the masala to infuse. Add the eggs to the pan, gently stirring to coat them with the masala.

Step 9

Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring the eggs are well coated with the spices.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.
