Stir and cook the mince for 8 minutes until it is evenly browned. Drain off any excess fat that has come out of the mince, before you add the remaining oil along with the onions, turmeric, coriander, cumin and chilli powders. Fry further for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes (stirring frequently), then the salt, water and stir in the yoghurt. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Boil the fresh green peas until tender before adding to the mince, stir in the garam masala powder for 2 minutes and then remove from heat. If the curry is looking dry, add the warm water at this stage. Transfer the curry onto a serving dish and arrange the sliced eggs on top. Finally, garnish with the chopped coriander and serve with chapattis.
