A fundamental technique in Indian kitchens, perfect hard-boiled eggs are the star of dishes like Egg Curry and Biryani, or enjoyed simply with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Serving size: 1 serving
Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Stir in the salt, which can help prevent the egg whites from leaking out if a shell cracks during cooking.
Place the saucepan on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a full, rolling boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
As soon as the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat completely. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. For a slightly softer, jammy yolk, reduce the time to 9 minutes.

While the eggs are resting, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked eggs from the hot water directly into the ice bath. Let them cool for at least 5-10 minutes. This step is crucial as it stops the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.
To peel, gently tap an egg on a hard surface and roll it between your hands to crack the shell all over. Start peeling from the wider end of the egg. Rinse under cool water to remove any small shell fragments. Serve as desired.
