salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 medium plum tomatoes, chopped
2 cups vegetable stock
½ (14 ounce) can coconut milk

Steps:

Rinse lentils with cold water until water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots and onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to help vegetables release their liquid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in vegetable stock and lentils. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer, stirring every so often, for 45 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, curry paste, curry powder, cumin, and chili powder. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons other mild oil
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground fenugreek

Shred creamed coconut with a sharp knife and placed in a heatproof 4 cup measuring jug. Cover with boiling water up to 1 pint (570 ml) Stir.
Heat frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, measure the whole spices (cardamom, cumin, fennel and coriander) into it. Dry roast spices for 2 - 3 minutes, shaking the pan from time to time to toss them around a bit. Don't roast too long. Remove from the heat and put into a mortar. Crush.
Heat same pan over medium high and add the oil. When hot, add the onions. Brown onions until fairly dark - about 4 minute Add chili etc. from prep bowl, ground roasted spices and coconut water mixture and lentils.
Cover and simmer as gently as possible for 45 minutes, stirring it now and then (don't add any salt at this stage).
While lentils are cooking, hard boil eggs. Cool under running cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel under the running water and slice in half.
When the sauce is ready, season it well with salt and add the lime juice.
Put the eggs on top of the sauce, and cook covered for a couple of minutes to heat eggs.
Serve the egg curry with rice, some more lime pickle and perhaps some mango chutney to add a touch of sweetness.
