South Indian Style Egg Curry In Coconut Milk

• 6 Hard Boiled Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
• 1 inch pieces Cinnamon Stick
• 3 Cardamom Pods
• 5 Peppercorns, lightly smashed
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped Ginger
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 large Onions, finely chopped
• 3 large Tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1/4 cup Tamarind Water
• 1/2 cup thick Coconut Milk
• 8-10 Curry Leaves
• Salt to taste

1. In a large pan, heat coconut oil and add mustard seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, peppercorns and green chilies. Once everything starts spluttering, add ginger, garlic and onions.
2. Cook till the onions turn soft and translucent and add tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder and salt. Let the tomatoes cook till they are pulpy and add tamarind water and thin coconut milk.
3. Stir and bring this to a boil. Simmer till the gravy reduces slightly and becomes thicker. This will take about 5. At this point, add some water if you need to adjust the consistency.
4. Adjust seasoning, add curry leaves and pour in the thick coconut milk. Stir a few times, without letting it come to a boil and switch off the flame. Drop the eggs in the curry, and cover and let it sit for five minutes before serving.
5. Note 1: To hard boil eggs perfectly, add eggs to a pot and fill it with water till it covers the eggs. Bring it to a boil and switch off the flame. Cover and let it sit for 11 minutes. Transfer to a vessel and place in cold water for perfectly hard boiled eggs.
6. Note 2: To make tamarind water, add a small, bite sized ball of tamarind to warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes. Mash with your hands and use the paste/water in the curry.
