Gently Poach the Eggs
Finish and Garnish
Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen green peas along with the potatoes for a touch of sweetness and added nutrition.
For more heat, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder along with the turmeric and cumin powder.
If you prefer a slightly thicker consistency, gently mash a few of the cooked potato cubes against the side of the pan with a spoon before adding the eggs.
Add a teaspoon of garam masala along with the coriander leaves at the end for a different aromatic profile.

While the authentic dish involves poaching raw eggs in the gravy, you can use pre-boiled and peeled eggs. If you do, add them to the gravy during the last 2-3 minutes of simmering, just to heat them through.
This curry is traditionally served with plain steamed rice ('bhaat'). The soupy gravy is perfect for mixing with the rice. A simple side salad or some pickles can also accompany the meal.
The key is to have the gravy at a very gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. Also, crack the egg into a separate small bowl first and then gently slide it into the liquid. Do not stir the curry after adding the eggs.
This curry is best enjoyed fresh, as the poached eggs have the best texture right after cooking. Reheating can overcook the yolks. You can, however, prepare the gravy base in advance and then reheat it to a simmer before poaching the eggs just before serving.
