Simmer the Curry
Garnish and Serve
For a richer, more luxurious curry, add a paste of 8-10 soaked and blended cashews along with the yogurt mixture.
Replace eggs with pan-fried firm tofu or boiled potatoes. Use a thick, unsweetened plant-based yogurt (like cashew or coconut) instead of dairy dahi.
Use mustard oil instead of vegetable oil for a pungent, traditional flavor. Heat it until it's smoking lightly before adding the cumin seeds.
Incorporate green peas or lightly sautéed bell peppers into the gravy along with the eggs for added texture and nutrition.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The dahi (yogurt) in this curry is a natural probiotic, which introduces beneficial bacteria to your digestive system, aiding digestion and improving gut health.
This dish is a good source of Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus, all of which are crucial for strong bones, energy production, and a healthy nervous system.
Spices like turmeric (containing curcumin) and ginger have powerful natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help combat oxidative stress in the body.
Curdling is the most common issue and usually happens for three reasons: 1) The yogurt was too cold. Always use room-temperature yogurt. 2) The heat was too high. Add the yogurt mixture on the lowest possible heat. 3) You didn't stir continuously. Constant stirring helps to temper the yogurt and integrate it smoothly into the hot base.
Yes, it's a balanced and nutritious dish. Eggs provide high-quality protein, while dahi offers probiotics for gut health and calcium for bones. The spices also have various health benefits. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil used.
One serving of this Dahi Anda Curry (approximately 2 eggs and gravy) contains an estimated 340-360 calories. This can vary based on the type of oil and fat content of the yogurt used.
It is not recommended. Low-fat or non-fat yogurt has a much higher tendency to split and curdle when heated, which will result in a grainy texture. Full-fat yogurt provides the best creamy consistency and stability.
Store leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a pan over low heat. Avoid microwaving on high, as it can cause the gravy to split.
Yes, for a 'satvik' or Jain version, you can omit the onion and ginger-garlic paste. To compensate for the flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the hot oil and slightly increase the amount of other powdered spices.
