Ingredients
- 🥚8 large eggs
- 🧈2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil
- 🧅1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 🧄1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 🌿1 tsp cumin seeds
- 🧡½ tsp turmeric powder
- 🍃1 tbsp coriander powder

Pro tips
- For extra richness and flavor, gently pan-fry the hard-boiled eggs in a little ghee until lightly browned before adding them to the curry.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level. A pinch of garam masala can be added at the end for more depth.
- Serve hot with cauliflower rice, keto naan, or simply enjoy on its own for a satisfying low-carb meal.
Method
- 1Hard boil the eggs. Once cooked, peel them and make small slits on the surface of each egg to allow the curry sauce to penetrate.
- 2Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- 3Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown and translucent. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, to bloom the spices.
- 5Pour in the crushed tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the mixture (this indicates the tomatoes are cooked down).
- 6Stir in the coconut milk and water/broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7Carefully add the peeled, slit hard-boiled eggs to the simmering curry. Gently stir to coat the eggs in the sauce.
- 8Cover the pan and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the eggs to absorb the curry.
- 9Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
