Add the ground onion paste, mix and cook for 3-4 minutes or until pinkish.
Add ginger garlic paste, stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add cumin powder and cinnamon powder and mix for a few seconds.
Reduce the heat and add yogurt and stir continuously to avoid curdling. Add kashmiri red chilli powder, and salt to the pan and stir continuously. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until oil leaves the pan's sides.
Add the almonds paste and stir for a minute.
Add the boiled eggs and stir for a minute.
Pour in the milk, stir and cover the pan for 4-5 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
