Ingredients

• 3 medium (about 500g) Potatoes
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 2 large, pureed Tomatoes
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
• 3 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 slit lengthwise (optional) Green chilies

Directions

Step 1

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a saucepan, covering them with water, and simmering for 10 minutes. Once done, cool down under running water, peel, and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized chunks. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 6

Add the pureed tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook the mixture for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the masala.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Mix well to coat them with the spices.

Step 8

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through but not falling apart.

Step 9

Make small slits in the boiled eggs to allow the curry flavors to seep in. Add them to the curry and gently stir.

Step 10

Sprinkle the garam masala and toss in the slit green chilies, if using. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the eggs to absorb the flavors.

Step 11

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.

Step 12

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti, and enjoy your hearty Potato and Hard Boiled Egg Curry!
