INSTRUCTIONS
In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes to let the spices blend together.
Add the boiled eggs to the pan and gently coat them with the masala. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the eggs.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and remove from heat.
For the Whole Wheat Roti, in a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and water. Knead well until you get a smooth and pliable dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin rotis using a rolling pin.
Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Cook each roti on both sides until lightly browned, applying oil if desired.
Serve the Spicy Egg Masala with warm Whole Wheat Roti.
