couple of chicken pieces

tomato 1 large

shallots 2-3 chopped fine

garlic 3-4 cloves

1/2 cup basmati rice

a cup of peas

tumeric powder
a few curry leaves
salt to taste
oil 

Make a rough paste of the onions and garlic in a mortar and pestle.

In a deep pan, heat some oil, add the bay leaf and curry leaf, onion and garlic paste, tomato, salt to taste, curry leaves. Fry this well, then add the chicken pieces and fry till well browned. Add the washed basmati and fry well a couple of minutes. Add hot water (a couple of cups), peas, mix well, reduce heat, cover until all water has been absorbed and rice is cooked well.

Fry the hard boiled eggs till a nice golden color. Add the fried hard boiled eggs to the rice and mix in gently. Serve hot.
