Simmer and Finish
Replace the eggs with 250g of paneer cubes or 4 medium-sized boiled and cubed potatoes. Sauté them just like the eggs before adding to the gravy.
For a richer, creamier texture, add 2 tablespoons of cashew paste along with the tomato puree.
Add 2-3 slit green chilies along with the onions for an extra kick of heat.

The blend of achari spices like fennel, cumin, and hing (asafoetida) are traditionally known to stimulate digestive enzymes, reduce bloating, and improve gut health.
Spices like turmeric, cumin, and fenugreek are packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
One serving of Achari Anda Masala contains approximately 330-350 calories, depending on the size of the eggs and the amount of oil used. It's a balanced main course dish.
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.
