How to Make Ande Ki Kare Curried Eggs

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 2 bay leaves. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup of water.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Gently add 6 hard-boiled eggs (peeled) and 1/2 teaspoon garam masala to the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or just until the eggs are heated through. Do not overcook.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with rice or naan bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
