Ingredients
  

  • 6 Boiled Eggs Hard boiled
  • 2 Onion Medium Size, chopped
  • 4 Tomatoes Medium Size, chopped
  • 2 Green chillies Or may be 1 as per taste
  • 1 Tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 1 Tbsp Yogurt
  • 2 Bayleaves
  • 1 Inch Cinnamon stick
  • 2 Cloves
  • 1 Tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/3 Tsp Asafoetida
  • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder Optional
  • 1/2 Tsp Garam Masala Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 Tsp Salt As per taste
  • 3 Tbsp Edible Mustard Oil
  • 10 Grams Fresh Coriander Leaves For Garnishing
  • Edible Red Color Few Drops (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • First of all, take off the shell from the eggs.
  • Puree onions and tomatoes with green chillies separately and set them aside.
  • Now heat mustard oil in a pan and saute eggs in it until they are golden. Take them out and keep them on a kitchen towel.
  • In the same pan, add asafoetida powder and cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and cloves and saute for 1 minute.
  • Now add onion paste/puree that you prepared, and saute till it is golden brown. 
  • Add ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell goes off.
  • Add Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder and then add tomato puree and fry all until this paste starts oozing oil.
  • Add yogurt and keep stirring until the paste started boiling and then add 1 cup of water or as required depending upon the thickness of gravy u want. Cook until the gravy thickens and oil begins to separate. Now add food colour, garam masala and salt and mix it properly.
  • Add little water (to dilute) and the boiled eggs and sprinkle chopped coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot and enjoy with Rice, Paratha, roti or Naan of your choice.

Notes

  • You can use any other oil of your choice if you don’t want to cook in mustard oil. I prefer making it in mustard oil only as it gives the same taste which we get in Punjabi Dhabas and Jama Masjid Gali in Delhi.
  • Adding food colour is entirely your choice. I added it as I want the colour of the gravy to be same as we get it at the places mentioned above.
  • Again I used Kashmiri red chilli powder just to give that red colour to my gravy.  Instead you can use normal red chilli powder as well.
  • After adding yogurt, you must stir the paste continuously till it starts boiling otherwise it will curdle.
