Egg Filling:
Heat oil in a pan and saute the sliced onions. When the onions are transparent, add the powders. Now add the tomatoes and mix well. Add the salt.
Now when the masala is soft add the boiled egg and mix well. Keep this aside.
Gravy:
Heat oil in a pan and saute the sliced onions and curry leaves. When the onions are transparent, add the ginger garlic paste and green chilies. Add the spice powders and salt. Kashmiri chilli powder gives a very good colour to the gravy.
When the raw smell goes, add the chopped tomatoes. When the tomatoes are soft, add some water and close the lid of the pan and cook the gravy for some time and add some coriander leaves. Turn off the flame and keep it aside.
Stuffing and Frying:
In a large pan, heat 1/2 cup coconut oil. Stuff the 2 eggs along with the masala inside the chicken. Fry the marinated and stuffed chicken till golden brown all the sides.
Mixing:
Now add this fried chicken and little from the fried oil to the prepared gravy. Mix well and cook the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes in the gravy with the lid closed. If the gravy is too thick you can add some more water.
Tempering:
In a frying pan heat some ghee. Add the chopped shallots. When it is browned, add the cashew nut and raisins. When everything is roasted add curry leaves and pour this over the chicken. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Enjoy this with chapattis or ghee rice!!
