    Boil and Deshell the Eggs

    • Boil eggs for exactly 12 minutes.

    • Add chopped onions to the pan and sauté them until they turn golden brown.
    • Add mustard seeds and let them sizzle in the oil.
    • Add fresh curry leaves to the pan. Stir everything together until all the flavors are well combined.

    Add Spices

    • To the curry base, add your spices - turmeric, Kashmiri red chili powder, black pepper, and garam masala. Mix well.
    • Add fennel seeds that have been seasoned in fragrant coconut oil. Stir to combine.
    • Pour in the coconut milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

    Simmer the Curry and Add the Boiled Eggs

    • Lower the heat and let the curry simmer gently until it thickens slightly.
    • Add the boiled eggs to the curry. Make sure the eggs are fully coated with the sauce.
    • Cook the curry for a few more minutes, allowing the eggs to absorb all the flavors.

    Serve the Curry

    • Check for seasoning, add salt if needed.
    • Once done, serve your Kerala Egg Curry hot with bread or roti on the side.
