Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 small Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place the eggs in cold water to cool.
Peel and slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Set them aside.
Finely chop the onion and tomato. Slice the green chili into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chili. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Stir in the turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to blend well with the onion-tomato mixture.
Add 0.5 cup of water to the pan and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the masala to thicken.
Gently place the egg halves into the masala, cut side up. Spoon some of the masala over the eggs and let them simmer for 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish the Low Carb Egg Masala with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot, enjoy on its own or with a low-carb accompaniment.
