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.

Sauté Aromatics and Spices

  • In the same pan, add the remaining ghee and cumin seeds. Once the seeds begin to splutter, add the ginger and garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

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

  • Stir in the kasuri methi, salt, and fried eggs. Mix well. Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Spicy Egg Curry

  • For a smoother curry, blend the ginger, garlic, and onion mixture in a food processor before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the level of spiciness according to your preference.
  • If you don't have ghee, you can substitute with vegetable oil or coconut oil.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) along with the cumin seeds.
