First,
hard boil the eggs, and peel them. Set aside. Use a medium sized,
shallow skillet, heat the oil, add in the mustard, and curry leaves.
Cover. After the spattering reduces, add the chopped onions, let brown
on medium heat.
Heat up a pan and add oil. When the oil shimmers, add in the whole spices and cumin, followed by curry leaves. Saute for a minute and then add in peas, tomatoes and peppers. Sprinkle a few teaspoons of water and close the pan for a few minutes until the peas cooks to tthe consistency you like.
Add all the powders and salt. Cook covered for 5-8 minutes on medium heat. Add water, if you want a runny stew, or leave as is, it will be a thick masala consistency.Garnish with cilantro

You
may add the cooked eggs, whole, as is, or with a few slits. You may
also slice them into half, and gently drop them sunny side up. Don’t
stack them in the curry. Place them, as in a platter. That way they
won’t break. It tastes great with chapathi/tortilla. Enjoy!
