1 ts Coriander powder
1/2 ts Red chilli powder;

1/4 ts Turmeric powder
1/8 ts Garam masala
1/4 ts Amchoor (dry mango powder)
1/2 c Water; or more depending on
- desired consistency
1/2 ts Kasuri methi (dried
- fenugreek leaves)
- (optional)
Salt
Fresh cilantro; for garnish

Hard boil the eggs. Peel the eggs, slit them (but not all the way
through) using a sharp knife rub them with a generous pinch of
turmeric powder and let sit.

In a heavy bottomed pot, add the oil and heat on medium-high until
you see faint ripples on the oil surface. If using mustard oil, you
will need to heat it a little longer until to do away the raw smell.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the cardamom and cinnamon stick and let
crackle for 10 to 120 seconds. Add the finely chopped onions next and
cook them until golden brown. About 6 to 8 minutes.

Next, add the garlic & ginger and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until you
start smelling anice aroma. Reduce the heat to low and add the
tomatoes next along with coriander, turmeric, chilli, garam masala &
amchoor powder. Start to cook this masala on low heat. After about 3
to 4 minutes add the potatoes, cover and cook the masala until you
see the oil separating on the sides of the pan. About 8 to 10
minutes. In between, if you see masala sticking to the bottom of pan,
add some water. This slow cooking is very important to develop
flavors and color of the paste, do not rush. Allow the masala to
reduce until it acquires beautiful reddish to brown color and the
potatoes are 90% done.

Add the turmeric rubbed eggs to the pot, sprinkle the kasuri methi,
add more water (if you want a thinner gravy), cover and let cook for
another 5 to 7 minutes. Put off the stove and let sit at least 2
hours before serving.

Warm up, garnish with cilantro and serve!
