Make shallow vertical slits or prick the boiled eggs lightly with a fork.
Heat oil and a small dab of butter in a pan over medium heat.
Add a pinch of turmeric, a pinch of salt, and a bit of the Kashmiri chilli paste.
Toss the boiled eggs in the spiced oil for 2–3 minutes until they develop a blistered, golden-red outer skin. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil and butter over medium flame.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 5–7 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for about a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the ground soaked Kashmiri chilli paste and cook for 2 minutes on low-medium flame until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes along with salt. Cook covered for 4–5 minutes until the tomatoes turn soft and pulpy.
Stir in the remaining turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Sauté on low heat until the masala thickens and beads of butter and oil separate from the edges.
Add water to adjust the gravy into a thick, clinging consistency. Bring it to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes.
Drop in the seared eggs and gently roll them in the simmering masala.
Lower the flame, cover, and let the eggs simmer in the gravy for 3–4 minutes to absorb the spicy, roasted flavors.
Uncover, sprinkle garam masala on top, and toss in the rest of the butter for a rich finish.
Garnish generously with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti, naan, paratha, or hot rice.

Can I prepare this dish in advance?

What can I serve with this curry?
It pairs well with roti, naan, paratha, or steamed rice.
