Delicious Egg Masala Recipe - A Flavorful Indian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 large eggs (boiled and peeled)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
  • 1 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 medium tomatoes (pureed)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 cup coconut milk (for creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Eggs

    Boil the eggs until hard-boiled, then peel and set aside.

    For easier peeling, place eggs in cold water before boiling.
  2. Cook the Onions

    In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Add Spices

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for 2 minutes.

    Add a splash of water if the spices start to stick.
  4. Incorporate Tomatoes

    Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

    This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add Eggs and Simmer

    Cut the boiled eggs in half and gently add them to the spice mixture. Add coconut milk if using.

    Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Finish with Garam Masala

    Sprinkle garam masala and salt to taste. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

    Serve hot with rice or naan.
