Egg Pulusu/ Boiled Eggs in tamarind gravy

Whenever tired of having same old omlettes and boiled eggs then, I prepare Pulusu using eggs. Its basically a tamarind based gravy with boiled eggs in it. Its usually served in combination with Mudda Pappu(or Plain Dal) and  tastes wonderful. The secret ingredient which makes this recipe delicious is crushing the garlic flake, cumin, fenugreek seeds together and adding it when the tamarind gravy is boiling. So, lets get started with the recipe :).
