First make a smooth paste out of tomatoes, ginger and garlic with the help of little water.

Rub them well with the spices and keep aside for 5 minutes.
Now heat mustard oil in pan.
First add the eggs and fry on medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Then remove them from oil.
Next add the potatoes and fry for 3 minutes. Then remove them from oil.
Now in that same oil add all of the whole spices. Saute for few seconds.
Then add chopped onion, fry for 5 minutes on medium flame.
Then add the above mentioned spice powder, mix well for 2 minutes.
Now add the tomato, ginger, garlic paste. Cook for 5 minutes. For seasoning, add salt and sugar as per your taste.
When the oil starts separating, add the fried potatoes. Mix well for 2 minutes.
Then add a cup of hot water and 2 green chilies. Cover the pan and cook until the potatoes become 80% soft.
Then add the eggs and cook for 3 minutes.
When the gravy becomes thick and potatoes become fully soft sprinkle some garam masala powder and add a green chili. Mix well.
Turn off the heat and let the curry rest for another 10 minutes then serve.
