Ingredients

• 6 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 2 medium, finely chopped Tomatoes
• 3 pieces, minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 1 piece, finely chopped (optional) Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat, cool the eggs under cold water, peel, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Mix in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil separates, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook the spices for another minute.

Step 6

Add 1 cup of water to the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Make shallow cuts in the boiled eggs to allow the curry flavors to seep in, then gently add the eggs to the pan.

Step 8

Let the curry simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the eggs are coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Stir in the garam masala and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan.
