Instructions
- Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the eggs and boil for 6 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the pan and plunge into a bowl of cold water. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then peel the eggs.
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the bay leaves and cumin seeds and stir-fry for about a minute.
- Add the onions and stir-fry gently for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Add the tomatoes and continue to stir-fry until the tomatoes become soft.
- Add the spices, salt, sugar and 1 tbsp of water and mix well. Continue to cook for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate.
- Add the potatoes, the hard-boiled eggs and 125 ml (4 fl oz) or water. Cover and simmer until the potato is cooked (10-15 minutes).
- Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
Titli's Tips
There are versions of this recipe which deep or shallow fry the hard-boiled eggs to give them a crispness. Personally I think this spoils the egg flavour, but then I'm not a fan of fried egg anyway...
