Ingredients:
– 4 eggs
– 1 tablespoon oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– 1 teaspoon kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
– 1/2 cup tomato puree
– 1 cup water
– Salt to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing
Instructions:
1. Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat, cool them under cold water, and peel the shells off.
2. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
3. Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Now, add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala to the pan. Stir well to combine the spices.
6. Add the kasoori methi and tomato puree to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
7. Add the hard-boiled eggs to the pan, making sure they are well-coated with the masala. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Reduce the heat and let the curry simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the curry has thickened.
9. Season the curry with salt to taste and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
10. Serve the egg curry masala hot with steamed rice or roti.
