Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 9 minutes; cool under cold water, peel, and make a few shallow slits in each egg.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat, add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for 15 seconds, then add the chopped onions and saute for 8 to 10 minutes until deep golden brown.

  3. 3

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the tomato puree along with the turmeric, coriander powder, and red chili powder.

  4. 4

    Cook the masala for 8 minutes until the oil separates at the edges and the gravy thickens, stirring frequently.

  5. 5

    Pour in 1 cup water and the salt, bring to a gentle simmer, then slide in the peeled eggs and cook for 8 to 10 minutes so they absorb the flavors.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle in the garam masala, simmer 2 more minutes, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot with rice or roti.
