Instructions

  • Add the water to a pan (for boiling eggs) and bring the water to a boil.
  • As the water boils, add salt and gently add the eggs to the boiling water.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover and cook the eggs for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes of cooking, switch off the stove and discard the hot water.
  • You can keep the eggs in little cold water if you are in a hurry, as it will help to cool off the eggs fast.
  • Once the eggs are cooled completely, you can remove the shells and keep the boiled eggs aside in a bowl.
  • Peel and slice the onion in thin long slices.
  • To prepare the seasoning, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.
  • When the mustard seeds splutter, add red chilies and curry leaves, fry for a few seconds. Now the seasoning is ready.
  • Add the sliced onion and little salt and saute the onions in medium heat until the onions are lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile chop the tomatoes in medium sized pieces and keep aside.
  • Once the onion slices are browned, add the garlic, ginger and sliced green chilies, saute for another 1 minute.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and enough salt, and stir fry the contents for about 2 minutes.
  • Add one cup of water and cover the pan and cook in low heat for about 6 to 7 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked and soft and have blended with the onions and water to make a tomato based gravy.
  • Add all remaining spices - turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala powder and curry powder, cook for another 2 minutes in low heat keeping the pan opened.
  • Meanwhile cut the boiled eggs in half so you have four pieces of boiled egg halves.
  • Gently drop the egg halves to the gravy with the yolk side up and cook for another 1 more minute.
  • You can use a spoon out little gravy and pour the gravy over the egg halves.
  • Switch off the stove and keep the pan away from heat.
  • Keep the pan closed so the mixture will blend with the eggs nicely.
