Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 unit Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 medium Tomatoes, pureed
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a pot of water over medium-high heat. Once boiling, gently add the eggs and boil for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water, then peel and set aside.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the tomato puree and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the oil begins to separate from the sauce, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in turmeric, ground coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.

Step 8

Make a few shallow cuts on the boiled eggs to help the masala penetrate. Gently add them to the sauce, spooning some of the sauce over the eggs to coat them.

Step 9

Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, turning the eggs occasionally to soak in the flavors.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Egg Masala with steamed rice or flatbread.
