• 2 cups Coconut milk

Directions

Step 1

Boil the eggs in water for 8-10 minutes and let them cool. Peel the shells and keep the eggs aside.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Step 3

Add dried red chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the green chilies, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 6

Reduce the heat and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir and cook the spices for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Add water to adjust the consistency of the curry.

Step 9

Season with salt and bring the curry to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Slice the boiled eggs in half and gently add them to the curry. Let them simmer for 5-7 minutes so they absorb the flavors.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice, appam, or parathas.
