Instructions
- To begin, hard boil the eggs. Peel and make gashes along the length so that the masala can soak in.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Saute the eggs until they lightly colorize. This adds extra flavor to the egg curry.
- In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil. Add in the achari masala – mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, and nigella seeds. Allow them to crackle.
- Add in finely chopped onions and chopped green chillies. Saute until the onions are translucent.
- Add in ginger garlic paste. Saute until the onions colorize. Do not brown.
- Add in finely chopped tomatoes. Mix well. Add the salt. This helps tomatoes cook faster. Cook until the tomatoes soften.
- Now add in the dry masalas – Kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Mix well.
- Add a bit of water. Add in tomato puree and mix well. Cover with a lid and cook until the oil starts appearing on the sides.
- Next, add in tamarind pulp and mix.
- Now add in the boiled eggs and mix until they are well coated.
- Finally, add garam masala powder. Mix well. Adjust the gravy as per your taste.
