Toast the chiles until fragrant, then grind in a spice grinder until finely ground. Add the ground chiles to the onion mixture, along with the coriander, cumin seeds, and turmeric, and saute for 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture back up to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes to develop the flavors. Place the eggs halves in the curry sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Gently stir in a generous handful of cilantro. Be mindful of the eggs.
