Some quick tips :
- Use hard-boiled eggs for this curry recipe. Otherwise, there will be a chance the eggs may break while frying.
- You can use the same recipe for making “Egg Kosha”, an authentic Bengali dish. For that do not add much water otherwise the gravy will be runny.
- Pierce the boiled eggs so that eggs are well coated with spices.
- You can add some sugar in this recipe if you like little sweetness.
- I have used here sliced onions & tomatoes. However, you can make onions/tomatoes paste in a grinder and replace the slices with this paste.
