For 4 servings
Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs stand for 12-14 minutes for perfect hard-boiled yolks.
Cool and Prepare the Eggs: While the eggs are standing, prepare an ice bath. After 12-14 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes. This stops the cooking and makes them easier to peel. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized quarters or sixths.
Prepare the Chaat Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, deseeded tomato, and green chilies. Add all the dry spices: red chili powder, chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, amchur powder, kala namak, hing, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Assemble the Chaat: Add the chopped boiled eggs to the bowl with the onion-spice mixture. Drizzle the tamarind chutney, green chutney, and fresh lemon juice over the top. Gently toss everything together until the eggs are evenly coated with the chutneys and spices. Be careful not to break the eggs too much.
Garnish and Serve: Immediately divide the chaat among four serving bowls. Garnish generously with a layer of fine sev and a sprinkle of fresh chopped coriander leaves. Serve right away to enjoy the crunchy texture of the sev and the freshness of the ingredients.
