- 2 cups Coconut milk

Instructions
Boil the eggs in water for 8-10 minutes and let them cool. Peel the shells and keep the eggs aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add dried red chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the green chilies, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until aromatic.
Reduce the heat and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir and cook the spices for 1 minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Add water to adjust the consistency of the curry.
Season with salt and bring the curry to a gentle simmer.
Slice the boiled eggs in half and gently add them to the curry. Let them simmer for 5-7 minutes so they absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice, appam, or parathas.
