Ready to continue when: The chicken has rested for 10 minutes and is drained.

Brown the onions
Put the onions in a wide, dry pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and golden but not burnt; allow about 10 minutes.
Ready to continue when: The onions are soft and golden, with no burnt spots.
10 min - 03
Add the butter, garlic and ginger
Stir in the butter, crushed garlic and grated ginger. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring so the garlic cooks without burning.

20 min - 05
Simmer the chicken
Add the cardamom pods, the remaining 900 ml water, the drained thighs, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, partially cover and simmer gently for about 60 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little more water only if the sauce begins to stick before the chicken is tender.
Ready to continue when: The chicken is tender and the sauce looks thick, with some fat visible on the surface.
60 min - 06
Add the eggs
Peel the hard-boiled eggs if needed and prick them several times. Nestle them into the sauce for the final 10 minutes of cooking, turning them carefully once.
Ready to continue when: The eggs are hot and coated in sauce while still holding their shape.
