For a more rustic, dhaba-style flavor, use coarsely chopped onions instead of finely chopped and add a bay leaf and a black cardamom along with the cumin seeds.
Add 2 medium-sized boiled and cubed potatoes. Shallow-fry them along with the eggs and add them to the gravy for a more filling dish.
Replace the eggs with pan-fried firm tofu cubes or boiled chickpeas. Follow the same recipe for the gravy.
