Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs hard boiled, peeled, cut in half lengthwise
  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil more as needed
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
  • 1.5 tbsp garlic finely chopped
  • 2 green chiles sliced
  • 3/4 cup tomato puree
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • pinch fenugreek powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp sugar to taste
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat up a pot and add oil. When the oil is hot, add cumin seeds. They’ll sizzle and turn color. Add finely chopped ginger and chopped red onion. Sauté until soft. Then add finely chopped garlic and sliced green chiles. Sauté until golden brown.
  • Add pureed tomatoes and mix. Add salt, red chili powder, ground coriander, ground turmeric and a pinch of fenugreek powder if you have it. Give it a stir. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add garam masala and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Taste the gravy and add more salt if you need to. Add a little bit of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Optional- If you want a very creamy smooth gravy, cool this mixture a little and blend it. Then return to the pot.
  • Turn the heat down so the gravy is simmering. Add hard boiled eggs cut in half with the yolk side up. Gently nudge them down so they’re covered with the gravy. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. You can always add more water and adjust the consistency according to your taste. Chopped coriander leaves can be sprinkled on top if you like.
