Tips & Tricks:

Here are some tips and tricks that can help you make the perfect egg curry:

1. Hard-boiled eggs: To get perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot of cold water and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes. Then, remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in cold water to stop the cooking process. This will make them easier to peel.
2. Spices: Always use fresh and good quality spices to get the best flavor in your egg curry. You can also roast the whole spices before grinding them to release their essential oils and enhance their flavor.
3. Onions: Fry the onions until they turn golden brown to add sweetness and depth of flavor to your curry. Be patient and stir them frequently to prevent them from burning.
4. Tomatoes: Use ripe and juicy tomatoes for a thick and flavorful curry. You can also puree them to get a smoother consistency.
5. Yogurt: Adding yogurt to the curry will give it a creamy texture and balance out the spiciness. Make sure to whisk the yogurt well before adding it to the curry to avoid curdling.
6. Garnish: Add fresh coriander leaves to your egg curry just before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
7. Consistency: You can adjust the consistency of your egg curry by adding more water or coconut milk to make it thinner or simmering it longer to thicken it up.
8. Serve: Serve the egg curry hot with steamed rice or bread of your choice. You can also pair it with some pickles or chutneys for added flavor.
