Method
Saute onion in oil in a 4 to 6 quart pan or dutch oven till
transparent. Add garlic, curry powder, curry paste, chick pea
flour, coconut, chopped cilentro, and peanut butter in rapid
succession and cook on reduced heat stirring continuously to
prevent sticking on bottom and scalding. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes
and then add hot peppers and tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3
minutes more. Add salt and 2 cups of water still stirring and
increase heat so that water comes to a boil and makes a thick
sauce. Add remaining water and stir into smooth consistency. Now
reduce heat and add hard boiled egg halves at the last minute. Serve over white rice.
