Cumin Tomato Salad With Jammy Eggs

Inspired by the delightful Indian egg curry, this egg salad recipe omits traditional mayonnaise in favor of a looser, brighter mix of fresh tomatoes, cilantro and sizzled spices. The dressing is a combination of cumin seeds, chile and cilantro bloomed in olive oil and balanced with lemon juice, which perfumes each bite with a deep, earthy flavor. A perfect melange of tomato, egg and spice, this dish shines when set on a platter next to roasted potatoes or on top of a hefty slice of toasted bread.
