Cook the ground paste with remaining 1/4 cup tomatoes. When it starts boiling, slip in the halved boiled eggs and salt. Cook for about 5 mins. Take off the heat.

Serves : 3
Preparation time : 20mins
PS: Changes from the original recipe -
- It didn’t include tomatoes, but had 1 cup coconut. To reduce the coconut, I added tomatoes to the paste and some more in the gravy.
- Curry leaves are my additions. I thought it gives more aroma, so included them.
- It had raw eggs instead of boiled ones as I have mentioned. When the gravy is cooking, recipe called for breaking the eggs directly into gravy and letting it cook there.
