Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 medium tomatoes, pureed or finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 1/2 cup water (adjust for desired consistency)

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 9–10 minutes. Remove, cool, peel, and set aside.

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

  • Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Add the tomatoes and cook until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

  • Stir in coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and garam masala. Cook for another minute.

  • Add water and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.

  • Lightly score or prick the boiled eggs and add them to the gravy. Simmer for 5–7 minutes so the eggs absorb the flavors.

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot

Notes

Lightly frying the boiled eggs before adding them enhances flavor and texture.Adjust chili powder to control heat level.Simmer uncovered to thicken the gravy naturally.Mustard oil can be used for a more authentic flavor profile.Best enjoyed fresh but tastes even better after resting for a few hours.
