Ingredients
- 6 eggs (boiled)
- 2 eggs (raw)
- 2 medium onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Eggs
- Begin by boiling 6 eggs until they are fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Once boiled, peel them and set them aside to cool.
- Finely chop or grate the boiled eggs, as this will give you the keema texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Masala Base
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle.
- Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Mix in the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
- Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy. You can mash them a little to speed up the process.
- Now, add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook the spices for about 3-4 minutes until the oil starts separating from the masala.
Step 3: Cook the Keema
- Once the masala is cooked, add the chopped boiled eggs and mix well.
- Break the 2 raw eggs into the pan and stir continuously to scramble them into the mixture. This adds extra texture and flavor to the keema.
- Stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes on medium heat. You want the eggs to absorb all the flavors of the spices.
Step 4: Final Touches
- Sprinkle garam masala over the cooked egg keema and give it a final stir.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and squeeze some lemon juice on top (optional) for added freshness and zing.
