Method:

Step 1: Boiling the eggs and frying them

• At first in a pan pour water and put on gas. Place eggs lightly and put ½ tbs of salt and boil it well. When cracks start to appear the eggs are cooked so remove in a plate and wash with cold water so the skin peels off easily.
• Make small cuts in the eggs with knife so they don’t blast or spit oil during frying.
• In a medium kadhai, pour mustard oil, heat up and fry the eggs till light brown and take them out on a plate.

Step 2: The gravy

• In the same kadhai, add chopped onions and fry a little. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry till light brown in color. Now add red chili powder and turmeric and mix well.
• Add tomato puree and mix well. Add cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder and salt and mix everything well.
• Place the fried eggs and stir so the masala coats the eggs well. Add about 1 cup of water, mix and cook well.

Step 3: Serving

At last add fresh chopped coriander and voila your masala egg curry is ready to be served. Happy cooking!

Notes:

1. Boiling the eggs with a little salt helps the eggs to boil fast.
2. Washing the boiled eggs with cold water after taking out helps to peel off the skin easily.
3. Making small incisions before frying the eggs helps the eggs fry nicely and helps the masala to seep in as well.
4. You can choose to make the gravy dry or runny by adding as much water as you want.
