Start by blending onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies, coriander leaves, and tomato into a smooth paste. Set it aside for now.

Step 2
Take 5-6 boiled eggs and gently prick them with a fork to create small marks. Heat some oil in a pan and shallow fry the eggs until they turn lightly golden. Remove and keep them aside.

In the same pan with the leftover oil, add the blended onion-tomato mixture. Cook it on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until it thickens slightly and dries out a bit.
