Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large (finely chopped) onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 inch piece (grated) ginger
- 1 cup tomato puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel and set aside.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for a minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato puree, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to separate.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and sugar. Add a cup of water to adjust the consistency of the curry to your liking. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes.
Cut the peeled hard-boiled eggs in half and gently place them in the curry, yolk-side up. Spoon some sauce over the eggs to coat them.
Sprinkle the garam masala on top and let the eggs simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
