Yes, it can be a healthy dish. It's rich in protein from eggs, and the pickling spices have digestive benefits. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil used.
While mustard oil provides the authentic 'achari' flavor, you can substitute it with any neutral vegetable oil or ghee. The taste will be slightly different but still delicious.
To prevent curdling, always add room-temperature, well-whisked yogurt on very low heat and stir constantly. If it has already curdled slightly, you can try blending the gravy with an immersion blender to make it smoother.
Absolutely! It's a great time-saver. You can dry roast and grind a larger batch of the whole spices and store the powder in an airtight container for up to a month.
