For the Eggs:
For the Masala Paste:
For the Curry Base:
1. Spice the Eggs:
Heat oil in a pan and toss in the boiled eggs. Add a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of red food color. Sauté until the eggs develop a golden, crispy layer. Set them aside—they’ve got a big role to play later.
2. Make the Masala Magic:
Grind the onions, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, green chilies, garlic, and peppercorns with a cup of water to make a thick, smooth paste. Keep it ready to sizzle.
3. Build the Base:
In a wide, heated pan or wok, add mustard oil. Throw in cumin seeds, a bay leaf, and whole red chilies. Let them crackle. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until golden brown.
Now, pour in the masala paste and sauté on medium heat for about 15 minutes—until the oil starts to separate. This is when the magic begins.
Add poppy seeds if you’ve got them—they elevate the richness to restaurant-level.
4. The Final Touch:
Add salt and chopped tomato. Cook for another 5 minutes. Now bring the eggs back into the mix. Pour in a cup of hot, boiling water to give the curry body. Let it all simmer together for 5 more minutes.
Finally, stir in a spoonful of ghee and sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro.
