Procedure

Boil the eggs. Remove their shells and cut into two pieces (The original recipe required deep slits to be created instead of cutting into 2 pieces.)

Next, heat oil in a pan and fry around 1 cup of onions along with ginger and garlic till the onions are nice brown in color. Grind them to smooth paste.

Now, add some more oil in the pan, add mustard and when they start to sizzle, add cumin seeds, fenugreek,
seeds, curry leaves and the remaining onions. Fry for few minutes till the onions become translucent. Next, add turmeric, red chili powder, tamarind and around 1/4 cup of water and cook till the mixture thickens.

Now add the onion paste, salt and enough water to get the desired consistency. Finally add the egg pieces slowly into the curry and cook for 10 - 15 minutes. Serve hot with rice/chapati/bread.
