Directions

Gently place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the eggs are fully cooked, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the eggs to cool. Remove the eggs from the pot and peel off the shells. Reserve.

Heat the oil in a shallow, wide pan over medium-high heat and add the ginger. Cook for 15 seconds and then add 1 tablespoon Tandoori Masala, the turmeric, fennel seed, salt, and pepper, and stir to toast for about 10 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt and chick pea flour together and then slowly stir into the tomato sauce. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and continue to cook for about 15 minutes. Slice the reserved boiled eggs in half and gently place them in the sauce to reheat. Serve the egg curry with rice.

To make tandoori masala:
Mix the garam masala, coriander, cumin, Spanish paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Store the mixture in a jar with a tight fitting lid.

Yield: about 1/2 cup

    My family LOVED this recipe! Even my son, who's normally spice-phobic. The flavor of the sauce and the velvety texture of the eggs make this a go-to dish for Meatless Mondays. We serve it with rice, dal and whatever vegetables look good that day.

    This dish is sooo easy and soooo good, I have used it as written as well as with chicken or vegetables, but it is the best with the eggs. The taste of the yolk of the egg and the sauce is wonderfully rich. This recipe is a good basic curry recipe, I like it with chilies added.

    I love this recipe. Simple but delish! I've made it with eggs, with chicken and with turkey.
