Directions
- 1Boil the eggs until the yolks are still runny. Peel the eggs and set them aside.
- 2Heat coconut oil in a kadhai or deep pan over medium heat.
- 3Add black mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cardamom pods, and curry leaves to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter and release their aroma.

- 9Season the mixture with salt to taste. Pour in the coconut milk and let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 10Gently place the boiled eggs into the curry, ensuring they are coated with the flavorful sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
