Instructions
Prepare the Eggs
- Boil the eggs for 10-12 minutes. Once cool, peel and set aside.
Fry the Eggs
- Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Gently fry the eggs until they are lightly golden brown. Set aside.

Build the Curry
- Add the onion paste and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Stir in the red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Then add the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the mixture (about 5-7 minutes).
Combine and Simmer
