Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp light cooking oil
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3-4 whole green cardamom pods
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 medium onion, ground to a fine paste
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 medium tomatoes, ground to a fine paste
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt, beaten till smooth
  • salt, to taste
  • water, as needed
  • 6 eggs, hard boiled and peeled
  • a handful fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large non-stick pan and add in cinnamon, cardamom and cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to sizzle, add in onion paste, and fry for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat till it starts to brown a bit and give out oil along the sides. Add in ginger and garlic pastes and sauté for another minute or two till fragrant.
  • Add in the spices and tomato paste, and fry for a couple of minutes to blend well. If it starts to dry out and stick to the bottom of the pan, add in a splash of water.
  • Mix in blended tomatoes, yogurt and salt, and cook covered for a few minutes till well incorporated. Add in the boiled eggs, toss gently and cook covered on low heat for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves and serve piping hot with a side of rotis or rice, and a salad.
