1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper / pepper powder 

3 tablespoons oil                                                               

Salt to taste

Heat oil in a suitable pan and lightly fry the boiled eggs for about 3 minutes till they turn light brown. Remove the eggs and keep aside.

In the same pan, (add a little more oil if required) and fry the onions, green chillies, ginger and garlic till the onions turn glassy. Now add all the other ingredients including the eggs. Mix well so that all the Eggs get covered. Cook on medium heat till the gravy thickens. The tomatoes should not be cooked too much. They are added just to give a little colour to the dish.
