Step 1
Boil eggs in salted water for 8 minutes until centers are jammy but yolks not fully set. Peel under cold water, halve lengthwise.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add cumin seeds; toast 30 seconds until they crackle.
Step 3
Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until edges turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in ginger-garlic paste, then chili powder. Cook 1 minute until fragrant; watch for burning.
Step 5
Pour in tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, then nestle egg halves cut-side up into the sauce.
Step 6
Simmer uncovered 8 minutes. Sauce should thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust salt and spice.
