For a creamier and milder gravy, add 1/4 cup of thick coconut milk at the end and simmer for just a minute before turning off the heat.

Egg Gothsu is a versatile side dish. It pairs wonderfully with traditional South Indian breakfast items like soft idlis, crispy dosas, idiyappam (string hoppers), and appam. It can also be served with chapatis or steamed rice.
Tamarind provides the signature tangy flavor. If you don't have it, you can substitute it with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice added at the end, or by using 1-2 extra sour-variety tomatoes. However, the authentic taste will be slightly different.
To thicken the gravy, you can simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes. Alternatively, make a slurry by mixing 1 teaspoon of rice flour or besan (gram flour) in 2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to the simmering gravy. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
You can store leftover Egg Gothsu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors tend to deepen overnight, making it even more delicious the next day. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
