How to boil eggs?

Egg Curry Recipe:

Heat oil in pan enough to fry the eggs and potatoes. Deep fry them till it turns golden and keep it aside.
Now heat oil in another pan and add onion paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
After that add all the dry spices , mix well and cook it for another 5 minutes.
Then add tomato paste along with salt and cover it and cook till masala start leaving oil.
Stir it occasionally so that masala doesn't stick at bottom.
When masala is cooked properly, then add fried potatoes and eggs & mix gently to evenly coat them with masala.
Then add 2 cup water and stir well. Quantity of water can be increased or decreased for thin or thick gravy.Cook until the gravy thickens slightly and the curry is cooked completely. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Egg curry is ready to serve with rice or roti.

Tips:

1. You can make paste of onion and tomato together if you fall short of time. But sauteing them separately yields a better tasting gravy in this recipe.

2. You can coat the boiled eggs in paste of cornflour + water and then fry them.
