Simmer the Curry
Finish and Garnish
Add a paste of 10-12 soaked cashews along with the tomato puree. Finish with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream for a richer, milder curry.
Use mustard oil for a pungent flavor. Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) with the cumin seeds and use coarsely crushed whole spices instead of powders for a more rustic taste.
Replace water with 1 cup of thin coconut milk for the gravy and finish with 1/2 cup of thick coconut milk. Add curry leaves and mustard seeds to the tempering.
Add 1-2 boiled and cubed potatoes along with the eggs to make the dish more substantial.
