Firstly fine chop 2 medium onions, about 1 to 1 ¼ cup fine chopped onions. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Then add 2 cubed onions and boil for 4 to 5 minutes. This will remove the raw and pungent smell of the onions. Drain and grind them without adding water.
Make a fine paste and keep this aside in a bowl.
Fine chop or puree 3 medium tomatoes.
Set this aside as well.
Pat dry and prick the boiled eggs with fork 2 to 3 times, so they don't burst while frying. Heat half tbsp oil or ghee in a non-stick pan and fry them until golden & blistered. If you prefer to spice them, turn off the stove and sprinkle 1 pinch each of red chilli powder and garam masala. Keep them aside.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. You can use the same pan used to fry eggs. Using whole spices is optional, you can use the following spices:• 1 small bay leaf• ½ inch cinnamon• 2 green cardamom• ½ tsp cumin seeds (optional)• 2 cloves (optional) When the spices begin to sizzle, add onions.

Then add the following spice powders & other ingredients: •½ to 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)• ⅛ tsp turmeric• ½ to 1 tsp garam masala (adjust to taste)• ½ to ¾ tsp salt (adjust to taste) Fry the onion tomato masala until it begins to smell really good and oil begins to separate. Takes about 2 to 4 mins.
Make Egg Curry.
Pour 1 to 1¼ cups water to make a gravy. Mix well and boil the gravy until it thickens. When it is done you will see some traces of oil on the gravy. Taste the gravy and add more salt and sugar if needed. Sugar helps to balance the flavors.
Add the fried eggs and give a gentle stir. Cover & cook on a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes for the eggs to absorb the flavors.

Cook for 1 to 2 mins until the curry turns thick. Sprinkle coriander leaves. Serve spicy egg curry with Tehari, Naan or Paratha.
