Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil,

1 bay leaf,

1 cinnamon stick,

1 finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste,

2 slit green chillies (if you like),

2 medium chopped tomatoes

1 teaspoon turmeric powder,

1 teaspoon red chili powder or paprika,

1 teaspoon coriander powder

2 teaspoons garam masala

Preparation

Start by boiling about 6 eggs - you will need hard boiled eggs.

A good way to shell the eggs is to dip them in cold water immediately after you remove them from hot water. That way they peel easily. Make little slits on the top and bottom and set aside.

If you prefer cut them in half, but I like them whole so that the yolk does not mix in with the curry at the very beginning.

Now for the curry part...... Take abt 2 tbsp oil in the pan, add 1 bay leaf and cinnamon stick, add 1 finely chopped onion.

After it is soft, add ginger garlic paste. Then add slit green chillies (if you like) and 2 medium chopped tomatoes.

Then its time to add masalas... add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chili powder or paprika, 1 tsp coriander powder and 2 tsp garam masala. Saute everything till it gives out a nice aroma.

Add 4 tbsp coconut onion masala (see link: http://recipegrabbag.blogspot.com/2009/11/coconut-onion-masala.html).

Saute and add some water. Season with salt (according to taste) and put some lemon juice.

Slide in the eggs and boil for 4-5 mins on low medium heat.

Enjoy with paratha or brown rice!!
