Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onions, grated ginger, grated garlic, and cumin seeds. Fry for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and turned golden brown.
-
Step 2.
Add the garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and chili powder to the pan. Stir until fully mixed, then add the chopped tomatoes, cauliflower florets, 450ml water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Avoid over-stirring to keep cauliflower florets intact; add more water if the sauce becomes too dry.
-
Step 3.
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and simmer for 8 minutes. Drain and run under cold water, then peel the eggs.
-
Step 4.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the peeled boiled eggs and fry until they become gnarled, cracked, and brown all over. Transfer the fried eggs to the curry sauce, bring back to a boil, then simmer for 6 more minutes. Optionally, halve the eggs to let some yolk melt into the sauce. Adjust consistency with more water if needed before serving.
