If you are looking for recipes with hard boiled eggs, this recipe is for you. The ingredients for this egg recipe are also not very complicated. You will already have most of them in your kitchen pantry.

Ingredients Notes & Substitutions

Hard boiled eggs: is the main ingredient for this recipe. You can boil eggs in advance and refrigerate them. Make sure to store the eggs with their shells on.

Chopped Onions: is another star ingredient in this recipe. Lots and lots of chopped onions is what gives a slight sweetness and texture to this recipe. I use red onions. However, you can use yellow or white onions.

Chopped Tomatoes: is the ingredient that balances out all of the other flavors and brings it all together.

Additional Spices: include red chili powder (for heat) and turmeric powder for taste and color.

Dry Spices:include whole black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon stick, and cloves. The Original recipe requires these spices to be ground up into a powder. However, I add them whole to save time.

Salt: is always added as per your taste.

Chopped Coriander Leaves: is for garnishing.
