Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 finely minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 tablespoon Curry powder
• 14 ounces Canned tomatoes
• 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Low-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the eggs: place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let sit for 12 minutes before transferring the eggs to an ice bath to cool.

Step 2

While the eggs are cooling, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and curry powder to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

Step 5

Pour in the canned tomatoes along with their juice, breaking them up with a spoon. Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half. Carefully add them to the simmering curry sauce.

Step 8

Simmer the eggs in the curry for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, ideally with whole-grain bread or steamed brown rice, for a heart-healthy meal.
