- 4 boiled eggs, peeled
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- medium tomatoes, pureed
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp chili powder adjust to taste
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 cup water or coconut milk for creaminess
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Prepare the base: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the spices: Stir in ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute. Add turmeric, chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook until fragrant.
Cook the tomatoes: Pour in the pureed tomatoes and simmer until the oil separates from the mixture.
Simmer the curry: Add water or coconut milk, salt, and garam masala. Stir well and let the curry simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs: Gently place the boiled eggs into the curry. Simmer for another 5 minutes, letting the eggs absorb the flavors.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice, naan, or paratha.
- For a creamier curry, use coconut milk instead of water.
- Lightly fry the boiled eggs in oil before adding them to the curry for extra flavor.
- Adjust spice levels by adding green chilies or reducing chili powder.
