4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • About 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • One 2-in. piece ginger, peeled and finely shredded into a mush
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 1 can (15 oz.) chopped tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala (see Notes)
  • 6 hard-cooked eggs, halved lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat, cook onion with oil and 1/2 tsp. salt until onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to brown around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2
    Add garlic, ginger, green onions, and jalapeno. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir in yogurt. Add tomatoes and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook until flavors blend and sauce thickens a bit, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    Stir in garam masala and add salt to taste. Set eggs, cut side up, on sauce. Spoon a bit of sauce over each egg and cook without stirring until hot, about 2 minutes. Serve garnished with cilantro if you like.
