Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons garlic paste
• 2 onions, peeled and quartered
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons ginger paste
• 2 small green chile peppers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions; cook and stir until onion pieces are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 10 minutes more.

Step 2

Remove pan from heat and set it aside. Transfer cooked onions to the bowl of a food processor; grind onions, tomatoes, and green chiles into a smooth paste.

Step 3

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion mixture carefully, as it may spatter. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, ginger paste, coriander, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Pour water into skillet and bring sauce to a boil. Add cubed potatoes. Gently stir in the eggs. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
