Method:

1. Add all the ingredients of the vaatan into a mixer grinder jar & grind it into a fine paste, make sure you don’t add too much water.
2. Cut the eggs into halves & keep them in a bowl to fry them further.
3. Further take a pan or a tawa & heat it nicely over high flame, add oil into the tawa & let the oil get hot.
4. Place the eggs cut side down onto the pan & add green chillies, turmeric powder, kashmiri red chilli powder & salt from the top, fry eggs from both sides until they get light golden brown.
5. Once fried, transfer the eggs into a bowl & set them aside until you make the gravy.
6. To make the gravy set the same pan back over high flame & add oil into it, once the oil gets hot add the cumin seeds & onions, stir & cook the onions over high flame until they turn golden brown.
7. Add the green paste you prepared earlier when the onions turn light golden brown, stir & continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onions golden brown.
8. Further lower the flame & add all the powdered spices followed by salt, garlic cloves & a splash of hot water, stir well & cook the masala until the oil gets separated.
9. If the masala gets dry while cooking it, then add hot water & continue to cook it further.
10. Once the masala is cooked & the oil is released add the tamarind pulp & stir well, taste the gravy at this stage & adjust the seasoning & sourness accordingly.
11. Further add the fried eggs into the gravy & coat them well, finally sprinkle some freshly chopped coriander over the eggs & gravy.
12. Your anda tawa masala is ready.
13. Insert fresh pavs into skewers & toast them over direct flame until they get crisp from outside, serve them hot with the anda tawa masala.
