🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and garam masala; cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour in tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the masala, about 5 minutes.
- Add water and salt, bring to a simmer. Gently place the boiled eggs into the gravy, spooning sauce over them.
- Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb the flavors. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage
For extra richness, stir in a splash of coconut milk at the end. The curry keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, and the eggs can be stored separately to prevent them from getting too soft.
