Instructions

1
Prepare the Eggs
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
- Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run under cold water for 2-3 minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Peel the eggs carefully. Gently prick each egg a few times with a fork or toothpick. This helps them absorb the gravy flavors.
- Optional: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the pan and shallow fry the peeled eggs for 2-3 minutes until they develop light golden-brown spots. Set aside.
2
Sauté the Masala Base
- Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a kadai or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
- Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are deeply golden brown. This step is crucial for the flavor of the gravy.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies. Cook for 1 minute until the raw aroma disappears.
- Pour in the tomato puree. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and you see oil separating from the sides of the masala.
3
Add Spices and Create the Gravy
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for 30-45 seconds until the spices are fragrant.
- Slowly pour in 1.5 cups of hot water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the gravy to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4
Finish and Garnish the Curry
- Gently slide the prepared hard-boiled eggs into the simmering gravy.
- Crush the kasuri methi between your palms to release its aroma and sprinkle it over the curry, followed by the garam masala.
- Stir gently to combine. Cover and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the eggs to soak up the flavors.
- Turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Let the curry rest for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best taste.

Ingredients

2 cup atta (Use a fine-milled whole wheat flour for best results.)
1 cup lukewarm water (Adjust quantity as needed; dough should be soft and pliable.)
1 tsp ghee (For the dough, plus extra for brushing (optional).)

Instructions

1
Prepare the dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the atta and 1 tsp of ghee.
- Gradually add lukewarm water, a little at a time, mixing with your fingers to form a shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough on a clean surface for 8-10 minutes, using the heel of your palm to push and fold until it is smooth, soft, and pliable, but not sticky.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth or a lid and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes. This step is crucial for relaxing the gluten and ensuring soft rotis.
2
Divide and roll the rotis
- After resting, knead the dough for another minute.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and roll each into a smooth, crack-free ball.
- Take one dough ball, flatten it, and dip it in dry atta for dusting.
- On a rolling board, use a rolling pin to roll it into an even circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Ensure the edges are as thin as the center for proper puffing.
3
Cook the roti
- Heat a flat griddle (tawa) over medium-high heat. It's ready when a pinch of flour sprinkled on it sizzles and turns brown in seconds.
- Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa. Cook for about 20-30 seconds, until you see small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Using tongs, flip the roti. Cook the second side for about 45-60 seconds, until light brown spots appear.
4
Puff the roti
- Using tongs, carefully remove the roti from the tawa and place it directly over a medium-high open flame. It should puff up into a ball almost instantly. Flip it once and remove immediately to avoid burning.
- Alternatively, if you don't have a gas stove, flip the roti back onto the tawa and gently press the edges with a folded kitchen towel. This traps steam and helps the roti puff up.
- Once puffed, immediately remove the roti from the heat.
5
Finish and serve
- Brush one side with ghee, if desired, for extra flavor and softness.
- Place the finished roti in a casserole dish or a container lined with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
- Repeat the process for all remaining dough balls. Serve hot with your favorite dal, curry, or sabzi.
