  • 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp Salt

Method

  1. Rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear, then cook it in twice its volume of water, covered, until tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  2. Hard-boil the eggs, 9 minutes, then cool, peel, and halve.
  3. Finely chop the onion and tomato; grate the ginger and garlic.
  4. Fry the onion in the oil until deep golden, then add the ginger-garlic, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
  5. Add the tomato and salt and cook to a thick gravy, then loosen with a little water.
  6. Slide in the eggs, spoon the gravy over, and simmer 3 minutes.
  7. Finish with cilantro and serve with the rice.
