Ingredients
- 6 medium eggs
- 400g potatoes, cut into medium dice
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- Seeds of 3 cardamom pods
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp crushed dried chilli (optional), plus extra to garnish

Method
- 1. Cook the eggs in boiling water for 8 minutes. Drain, cool slightly and shell. Set aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 6 minutes, until tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
- 3. Grind the coriander, cumin and cardamom seeds in a pestle and mortar, then mix with the rest of the spices. Put a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the spices and dry-fry for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the butter and oil and, when it fizzes, add the garlic, onions and celery. Fry for 10-12 minutes, until they start to brown.
