PREP
  1. Hard cook the eggs. For perfectly cooked, easily shelled eggs, see our proven method Boiling Eggs.
  2. Shell the eggs. Cut 6 lengthwise slashes in each egg, through to the yolk but far enough from the ends so the egg holds together well.
  3. Cut ONION in quarters lengthwise then slice thin.
  4. Chop GARLIC fine. Slice GINGER very thin, then cut slices into matchsticks and chop fine. Mix,
  5. Scald TOMATOES one minute in boiling water. Quench in cold water and peel. Chop small and mix with Turmeric, Chili Powder, and Salt.
  6. Grind Coriander and add to Tomato mix.
RUN
  1. Select a covered sauté pan large enough to hold all your eggs in a single layer with room to move them around. Heat OIL and fry Onions stirring until light golden, then stir in Garlic Mix and continue frying until garlic shows color.
  2. Stir in Sauce Mix and fry stirring until tomatoes are softened.
  3. Stir in EGGS until well coated. Add 1/2 cup WATER, cover and simmer 10 minutes, rolling the eggs occasionally and adjusting water as needed for the sauce thickness you want.
  4. Serve warm, one or two eggs per serving, with a good amount of sauce with each.
NOTES:
  1. Chili Powder

      Reshampatti chili powder is appropriate for this recipe, or another medium hot chili powder. For details see our Chili Powders & Flake page.
