Vegetable Oil2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Hard-boil the eggs (or beat them, for omelette-style), peel and halve; a light dusting of turmeric and salt helps them fry without spitting.
2
Shallow-fry the eggs till blistered gold in patches; set aside.
3
Build the masala: onions down till gold, paste and tomato in, spices fried till thick and split.
4
Return the eggs with the tomato, spoon the masala over, and let it all bubble together briefly.
5
Finish with garam masala, cilantro and lemon; serve hot with roti, rice or buttered toast.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
