One serving of Marwari Egg Curry contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the type of oil and the fat content of the yogurt used. This estimate includes two eggs and a portion of the gravy.
Yes, it can be a healthy dish. It's an excellent source of high-quality protein from eggs and provides probiotics from yogurt, which is good for gut health. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil used.
The three main reasons for curdling are: high heat, not stirring continuously, and using low-fat yogurt. To prevent it, always use full-fat yogurt, whisk it well with besan, and add it to the pan on the lowest heat while stirring constantly until it comes to a gentle simmer.
Yes, for a Jain or Satvik version, you can omit the onions and ginger-garlic paste. The flavor will be different but still delicious due to the yogurt and spices. Increase the amount of hing slightly to compensate.
This curry pairs beautifully with traditional Rajasthani breads like bajra roti (pearl millet flatbread) or missi roti. It also goes well with regular phulka, parathas, or steamed basmati rice.
You can store leftover Marwari 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; add a splash of warm water while reheating to adjust the consistency.
