  • Boil the eggs for 15 minutes in water and remove the shell,Keep it aside.Grind the given ingredients to a fine paste and set it aside.
  • Dry roast the fennel seeds,black pepper and red chilly in a medium flame till a nice aroma come out.Put off the flame and powder it in a mortar and pestle to a coarse powder.
  • Now in a pan heat a tsp of oil and fry the hard boiled eggs for couple of minutes.Sprinkle a pinch of salt,turmeric powder and red chilly powder.Mix it well and it coats on each egg well.Keep it on a flame for another minute,remove it and transfer to a plate.
  • Now in the same pan heat the remaining oil and do the tempering with the given ingredients.Add the sliced onion,green chilly and curry leaves.Saute it with a pinch of salt till transparent.Add in the ginger&garlic paste,fry it until raw smell disappears.Add in half of the  ground fennel and pepper powder and spice powders.Fry in the oil for a minute.
  • At this stage add in chopped tomato and cook it until mushy.Add 1/2 cup of water and let it cook till the oil separates.Add in the ground paste and mix it well.
  • Add in some water and adjust the consistency if need.Add rest of the ground fennel and black pepper powder.Allow it to boil.Once the raw smell goes off add in the eggs and allow it for one boil.Add in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice,put off the flame.
  • Serve it with roti or rice.








  • While frying the fennel and pepper,keep the flame in medium.
  • The spices give are for medium spice level.
  • The amount of green chillies and the black pepper only gives the spiciness to the curry,so adjust accordingly.I added around 1/4 tsp of red chilly powder along with the spice powders.

Drooling nalini... The pictures are so beautiful I think in my hurry to get to the picture I must have skipped some instructions. It's yummy.

Beautiful clicks and very tempting egg pepper masala. Love the addition of lots of pepper and curry leaves. I usually just add boiled eggs to the curry.. like the way you have fried them a little to give it that beautiful yellow colour.
