  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Prepare the Eggs

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and lightly score them with a knife. This helps the curry sauce penetrate the eggs.

Prepare the Base

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Add the Spices and Tomato Paste

Add the turmeric powder, chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Simmer the Curry

Pour in the water and bring the curry to a simmer. Add salt to taste. Gently add the hard-boiled eggs to the curry.

Finish and Serve

Simmer the curry for 5-7 minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors. Sprinkle with garam masala and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with rice or roti.
