Method
- Start by making a few cuts on the white of the shelled boiled eggs. Place them in a bowl and season them with Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Swirl them around in the bowl so that they all get well coated with the spices.
- To a heated pan on medium heat, add a little oil and toss in the seasoned eggs. Gently sauté the eggs in the pan for about a minute or two so that they get a little crispy on the outside. Now take them out and place them on a plate and keep them aside for later.
- In the same pan add some more oil and toss in the onion and sauté till they begin to turn golden.
- Add sliced ginger and garlic and continue to sauté till the onions begin to look golden brown and the ginger and garlic lose their raw flavour.
- Toss in the diced tomatoes and continue sautéing till the tomatoes turn soft.
- Allow the onion-tomato mix to cool a bit, then transfer into a blender and blend into a smooth paste.
- Add some more oil to the pan and add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom, and cloves. Sauté till they turn aromatic.
- Now lower the heat of the stove and add the Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Sauté for just about a minute.
- Add the onion-tomato paste and sauté till the oil begins to separate.
- To make the curry, add the water and give it a stir, then add the green chilies and lemon juice and give it another stir.
- It’s time to turn the heat back to medium and cover the pan and allow the curry to come to a boil.
- As soon as it comes to a boil, add the coconut milk and give it a mix.
- Season the curry with salt, garam masala, and sugar (optional). Give it a final mix, cover and let the curry come to a boil.
- You can now take the full spices out of the curry.
- Toss in the seasoned eggs and gently roll them around in the curry. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the curry to cook for another minute or two.
- The egg curry is ready, switch off the heat and garnish with finely chopped fresh cilantro.
