Ingredients

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Small Red Onion, Diced
2-3 Tomatoes, Diced
1 Tbsp. Ground Coriander
1 Tbsp. Garam Masala
1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1 Tbsp. Fennel Seeds
1 Tbsp. Ground Turmeric
1 Tbsp. Minced Ginger
1/2 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
1 Cinnamon Stick
8 Cardamom Pods
2 Bay Leaves
1 (15 Oz.) Can Light Coconut Milk
8 Whole Large Eggs, Soft Boiled

Instructions

Heat the 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil in a large skillet.
Add in the 1 Small Red Onion and 2-3 Tomatoes to cook for a couple of minutes until the onion has softened slightly.
Stir 1 Tbsp. Ground Coriander, 1 Tbsp. Garam Masala, 1 Tbsp. Chili Powder, 1 Tbsp. Fennel Seeds, 1 Tbsp. Turmeric, 1 Tbsp. Minced Ginger, and 1/2 Tbsp. Minced Garlic.
Add in the 1 Cinnamon Stick, 8 Cardamom Pods, and 2 Bay Leaves. (I bind mind up in some cheese cloth so that I get the flavor and don't have to play hide and seek with the spices once the dish is done.)
Stir in 1/2 C. water and cook over a medium-high heat to bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Pour in the 1 (15 Oz.) Can Light Coconut Milk and the soft boiled eggs, and allow it to return to a simmer.
Once heated through, serve to enjoy!

Notes

This goes great served over rice or with some warm naan.
