Instructions
 

  • Hard-boil the eggs. Once cooked, plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Peel the eggs and set aside.

  • Using a sharp knife, carefully slit one side of each green chile and remove the seeds. This reduces the heat level, but feel free to leave some seeds in for extra spice.
  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. This builds a flavor base for the curry.
  • Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them, as this can create a bitter flavor.
  • Stir in the turmeric powder and salt. Add the green chiles and ½ cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Gently add the hard-boiled eggs to the pan. Sprinkle with the crushed black pepper, dried mixed herbs, and dried fenugreek leaf. Simmer for another few minutes to heat the eggs through and infuse them with the curry sauce.
