9. Garam Masala ( 2 cloves ,2 green cardamom,1 inch cinnamon or 1/8th teaspoon cinnamon powder)
NOTE - dry roast these on a low heat for 30 secs and then grind it but if you are using cinnamon powder instead of whole cinnamon then don't dry roast it simply mix with the other dry roasted spices).
10. 1 & 1/2 teaspoon coriander / dhaniya powder
11. 1/2 teaspoon paprika or kashmiri red chili powder
12. 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
13. 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder/ jeera powder
14. 1/2 teaspoon Red chilly powder or Cayenne chili powder ( Optional )
15. 1 & 1/2 teaspoon tomato ketchup
16. 1 tspn of Salt
17. 1 tspn of Sugar
18. Vegetable oil /Mustard oil about 3-4 teaspoon
Preparation :-
1. Boil the Eggs along with peeled and halved Potatoes for about 10 minutes ( I like my eggs little half boiled ) do it as per your preference.The Potatoes must be partially undone.
2. Dry roast and grind the masala/spices mentioned in point number 9 of the ingredient list .
3. Slice the Onion/ Shallot thinly.
4. Crush the Ginger in a mortar and pestle ( hamaldista )
5. Crush the Garlic cloves in a mortar and pestle.
6. Chop the Tomato into small cubes
7. Add about 2 tablespoon of water to the dry masala ( coriander powder +cumin powder +kashmiri red chili powder +turmeric powder) and make a paste.
Note :- You can use Red chilly powder or Cayenne chili powder about 1/2 teaspoon to increase the heat ( I did not use ).Use it as per your preference a little less or more.
Lets Cook
1. Take an utensil and add a teaspoon of oil and fry the eggs and Potatoes with a sprinkle of turmeric powder and salt ( very little ).Keep it aside.
2. Add another 2-3 teaspoon of oil . Add 1 tspn of sugar and wait for it to caramelize.Do this on a medium to low flame. The sugar will slowly turn brown but don't burn it or the recipe will turn bitter in taste. Then add the whole garam masala.
3. Then quickly add the crushed garlic and wait for it to turn light brown.
4. Then add the sliced onion / shallot and fry it it golden brown in colour.
5. The add the crushed ginger and fry it for a minute.
6. Next add the wet masala paste with the chopped tomato and mix.
7. Cover and cook mixing intermittently.
8. Then add the Eggs along with the Potatoes and mix.
9. If the masala starts sticking to the pot just sprinkle water but don't add too much water . When the masala is done oil will seep out .
10. When you see the potatoes are also cooked properly add the dry roasted garam masala and the slited green chili.
11. Serve the dish with Roti or fried rice or even bread.
