6
  • 4 large eggs (hard-boiled, peeled)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder (adjust to taste)

  • 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Eggs

    Hard boil the eggs, peel them, and set aside.

    For perfect hard-boiled eggs, boil for 9-12 minutes.
  2. Sauté Aromatics

    In a pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

    Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
  4. Incorporate Curry Powder

    Add curry powder and stir well to combine with the aromatics.

    Let it toast for a few seconds to enhance the flavor.
  5. Mix in Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stirring until well blended.

    Simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Add the Eggs

    Gently add the hard-boiled eggs to the curry sauce, coating them evenly.

    Carefully turn the eggs to avoid breaking them.
  7. Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with green onions.

    Pair with rice or naan for a complete meal.
