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.
