Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let them cook for 9-10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and place in cold water to cool. Peel and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell dissipates.
Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the water, stir, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Carefully add the boiled eggs into the pan. Allow them to absorb the flavors by simmering in the masala for about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the garam masala and half of the chopped cilantro over the dish, gently stirring them in.
Turn off the heat, garnish with the remaining cilantro, and serve hot with rice or Indian bread.
