Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium tomato
• 1 green chili
• 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
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Once cooled, peel and set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan, sautéing until golden brown.

Step 3

Add the ginger garlic paste and green chili (slit lengthwise) to the onions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Dice the tomatoes and add them to the pan. Cook until tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 5

Stir in the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the spices for a couple of minutes until they are well-incorporated.

Step 6

Add the cup of water to the pan and bring to a simmer. Allow the masala to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Cut the boiled eggs in half and carefully place them, cut side up, into the pan. Spoon the masala over the eggs gently.

Step 8

Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes to allow the eggs to absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Sprinkle the garam masala over the eggs, and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Nut-Free Egg Masala hot with steamed rice or roti.
