Tawa Egg Masala

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the eggs by slicing the hard-boiled and peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the aromatics.

   • Heat oil and butter in a large tawa or wide pan over medium heat.
   • Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
   • Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, which should take about 6-7 minutes.
3. 3

   Cook the masala base.

   • Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies. Cook for 1 minute until the raw aroma disappears.
   • Add all the dry spice powders: turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and pav bhaji masala. Sauté for 30 seconds.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and salt. Cook, mashing with a spatula, until the tomatoes are soft and oil begins to separate from the masala, about 8-10 minutes. Add a splash of water if the masala becomes too dry.
