Ingredients

  • 2 tsp light olive oil
  • 2 medium onions
  • 492g tomatoes
  • ½ tsp powdered turmeric
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 2.5g dry, ground garam masala
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 13g red chilli peppers
  • 4 boiled eggs

Method

  1. Heat oil in a wide based frying pan, and add diced onions.
  2. When onions are brown, add diced tomatoes, all the salt, spices and chopped chilli (as many as you prefer) and a cup of water.
  3. Simmer and stir - squash the contents against the pan with the back of a spoon so it thickens into a sauce - it will take 5-10mins.
  4. Slice the boiled eggs, add to the pan and lightly stir - simmer for 5-10mins (add a little water if it starts to get get dry).

The yolks will make the sauce quite creamy, tastes great served with a wholemeal pita/wholemeal wrap.
