Ingredients

5 Hard Boiled Eggs peeled
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
1 Cinnamon small stick
3 Cardamom pods
5 Peppercorns lightly smashed
2 – 3 Green Chillies slit lengthwise
1 teaspoon Ginger finely chopped or ginger paste
7 Garlic cloves smashed and roughly chopped or garlic paste
2 Onions finely chopped (medium)
3 Tomatoes finely chopped (large)
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder Red
1/4 cup Tamarind Water
1 cup Thin Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Thick Coconut Milk
8 – 10 Curry Leaves
Salt to taste

Method

* In a large pan, heat coconut oil and add mustard seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, peppercorns and green chilies.

* Once everything starts spluttering, add ginger, garlic and onions.

* Cook till the onions turn soft and translucent and add tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder and salt.

* Let the tomatoes cook till they are pulpy and add tamarind water and thin coconut milk.

* Stir and bring this to a boil. Simmer till the gravy reduces slightly and becomes thicker.

* This will take about 5. At this point, add some water if you need to adjust the consistency.

* Adjust seasoning, add curry leaves and pour in the thick coconut milk. Stir a few times, without letting it come to a boil and switch off the flame.

* Drop the eggs in the curry, and cover and let it sit for five minutes before serving.
