Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes and Eggs

  • Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. Add the boiled potatoes and fry until lightly golden. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in the same pan. Add the boiled eggs and cook until lightly golden brown. Set aside.

Sauté Aromatics and Spices

  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the Panch Phoron and sauté briefly until fragrant.
  • Add the ginger-garlic paste and grated onion. Cook until the onions soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the pureed tomatoes and green chili. Cook until the raw smell disappears and the tomatoes have thickened slightly.
  • Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, to prevent burning.

Simmer and Finish

  • Pour in 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Once the sauce has reduced by about half, add the fried potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are heated through and well incorporated into the sauce.
  • Add the fried eggs and salt to taste. Simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve

  • Serve hot with steamed rice or roti.
