- Now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilly powder , cloves, cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, Fennel powder and sauté for 10-12 minutes in medium flame until the whole mixture has a deep brown color.
- Add water and salt to the masala and stir to mix well. If you want a dry curry, you can reduce the amount of water.
- When the water starts to boil, turn off the stove.
- Place the boiled eggs cut into half on top of the curry carefully and pour some gravy over it to make sure they get coated with the masala.
- You would not want to stir the gravy with the eggs, as it.

If you dont have cloves, cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, and Fennel powder, you can use 1/2 tsp of Garam masala and 1/2 tsp of Meat masala. Meat masala is optional.
