- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 2 tsp (10 mL) grated gingerroot
- 2-1/2 tsp (12 mL) Madras or other hot curry powder
- 1 tsp (5 mL) turmeric

Preparation
In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry mustard seeds and curry leaves (if using) and cumin seeds until mustard seeds begin to pop. Immediately add onions; sauté, slightly reducing heat if edges begin to brown, until light golden, 7 or 8 minutes.
Stir in peppers, garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder, turmeric, salt and cayenne; cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and 1/3 cup/75 mL water; simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Stir in yogurt and garam masala; add eggs. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat; cover and let stand until eggs are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to serving dish and sprinkle with coriander leaves.
