Replace eggs with pan-fried tofu cubes or boiled potatoes. Substitute dairy curd with a plant-based yogurt like coconut or cashew yogurt.
Blend 10-12 soaked cashews with a little water to form a smooth paste. Add this paste to the gravy along with the water for a richer, creamier texture.
Add par-boiled vegetables like green peas, carrots, or potatoes to the curry along with the eggs to make it more wholesome.
Increase the number of green chilies in the paste or add a pinch of red chili powder along with the other dry spices for extra heat.

Curdling usually happens when cold yogurt is added to a hot gravy or if the heat is too high. To prevent this, always use room temperature, well-whisked yogurt and add it to the curry on the lowest possible heat, stirring continuously until it's fully incorporated.
Store leftover Green Egg Curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. The gravy may thicken upon refrigeration, so you might need to add a splash of water while reheating.
Yes, you can prepare the green paste a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, for the most vibrant color and fresh flavor, it's best to make it just before cooking.
