Recipe
1
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or clay pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds, allowing them to splutter.
2
Add the curry leaves and slit green chilies, followed by the finely chopped onions. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and oil begins to separate from the mixture.
5
Lower the heat and add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
6
Pour in the extracted tamarind pulp along with one cup of water. Bring the gravy to a rolling boil and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
7
Gently slide the boiled, slit eggs into the bubbling curry, ensuring they are well coated with the gravy.
8
Simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes so the flavors absorb into the eggs.
9
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with warm steamed Sona Masuri rice.
