Finish and Garnish
For a richer, creamier gravy, add 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream or cashew paste (made by blending soaked cashews) at the end of the cooking process.
Replace the eggs with pan-fried firm tofu cubes or boiled potatoes. Follow the same process for making the gravy.
Use coconut milk instead of water for the gravy. Start by tempering with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies for a different flavor profile.
Increase the number of green chilies, add more red chili powder, or add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the other spices for extra heat.
