Instructions
 

  • In a pan, add 1 tsp oil, 1 clove, 1 cinnamon and 1 tsp fennel seeds and temper.
  • Add 2 sliced onions and saute them.
  • Next, add the ginger-garlic paste and the green chillies. And saute the mix in medium flame until onions are caramelized. This step is very important.
  • Add 1 chopped tomato and mix it in medium flame until tomato becomes mushy.
  • Add 1 tsp coriander powder, 3/4 tsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp chilli powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, salt and mix it well.
  • Add 3-4 tbsp of water ( enough water for the mix to immerse ) and allow it to boil in medium flame for 4-5 mins.
  • Slit the boiled eggs around 4 corners and add it in the mix. Give it a stir.
  • Cook in low flame for 3-4 mins. Garnish with coriander leaves at the end. It is done.

Notes

  1. Add onions : tomato in the ratio of 2:1
  2. Original recipe asked for egg masala; I replaced it with garam masala which was equivalently tasty.
