Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 inch piece, grated

Eggs

6, hard-boiled and peeled

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Now, add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and stir gently. Finish off the dish by garnishing with fresh coriander leaves.
9. Serve the curry hot with warm rice or roti. Enjoy the flavorsome journey this dish takes you on!
