Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Add the freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and slit green chilies to the pan. Sauté this mixture for about a minute to release the aromatic flavors.
- Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil begins to separate from the masala. This process is crucial for developing the rich flavors of the curry.
- Now, add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.
- If the gravy is too thick, you can add a little water to adjust its consistency. Keep in mind that the gravy should be thick enough to coat the eggs well.
- Gently add the hard-boiled eggs to the gravy and simmer for 5-7 minutes. This allows the eggs to absorb the wonderful flavors of the curry.
- Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and stir gently. Finish off the dish by garnishing with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve the curry hot with warm rice or roti. Enjoy the flavorsome journey this dish takes you on!
Tips
- For an extra depth of flavor, you can slightly fry the boiled eggs before adding them to the curry.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spices according to your taste.
