1. Fry the sliced onion in hot oil till golden. Remove the onions from the pan and put them in a food processor. Grind the onions, tomatoes, green chillies into a smooth paste. Try to avoid adding water while grinding, if possible.

2. Heat the oil that used to fry onion and add the paste you just made to it. Fry for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the ginger and garlic pastes, all the dry spices, mix and fry till the oil begins to separate from the masala (onion-tomato-spice mix).

4. Now add 2 cups of warm water to this masala and bring to a boil on a medium flame.

5. Half slit the boiled eggs vertically and add them gently to the gravy. Simmer the flame and cook for 10 minutes or till the gravy is thickened a bit.

6. Turn off the fire and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
