1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Fry the onion, garlic, turmeric and spices until the onion softens and the spices are fragrant.
2. Stir in the lentils and curry leaves. Season well and add enough water to cover the lentils. Gently simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Crack the eggs into the dhal and simmer for a further 4 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Scatter over the chopped chilli and serve warm with naan or rice.
