Step 1: Prepare Onion and Green Chilli Paste and Boil Eggs
Blend the chopped onions and 6 green chillies into a smooth paste using a blender. Boil the eggs until they are hard-boiled, then peel and set them aside.
Step 2: Fry the Boiled Eggs
Heat 2-3 tsp of oil in a pan over low flame. Add 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder. Fry the boiled eggs until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté Whole Spices
In the same pan, heat 2 tsp of oil over medium flame. Add the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves. Sauté them for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add Ginger Garlic Paste and Sliced Green Chillies
Add 2 sliced green chillies and 2 tsp of ginger garlic paste to the pan. Mix thoroughly and fry for 5 minutes over medium flame to remove the raw smell.

Meanwhile, blend the 5 tomatoes into a smooth puree using a blender.
Step 6: Cook the Tomato Gravy
Add curry leaves to the pan and stir. Then pour in the tomato puree. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes over medium flame.

Once the gravy starts bubbling, add salt to taste, 1 tsp of turmeric powder, and 2 tsp of red chilli powder. Stir well and cover the pan. Let it cook for 2 minutes over low flame.
Step 8: Add Water and Simmer
Add 250 ml of water to the gravy. Let it cook for approximately 5-6 minutes over medium flame until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency.
Step 9: Add Fried Eggs to the Gravy
Once the gravy has thickened, gently add the fried eggs to the pan. Stir carefully to coat the eggs with the gravy.
Step 10: Add Coriander Leaves and Fresh Cream
Add chopped coriander leaves and 1 tsp of fresh cream to the curry. Mix thoroughly and cook for another 3 minutes over low flame.
