Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 cup Tomato puree
- 1 medium Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for 9 minutes. Remove from heat, drain the hot water and fill the pot with cold water. Let sit for a few minutes before peeling.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped green chili. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Step 5
Mix in the tomato puree, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oil starts to separate from the tomato base.
Step 6
Add water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Cut peeled eggs in half and gently place them into the curry. Let the eggs simmer in the curry for 5 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir gently.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or roti.
