Why You'll Keep Making This
This dish combines rich, creamy sauce with perfectly cooked eggs, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. Its smooth texture and balanced spices make it a favorite for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
Step 1
Blend onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies, coriander leaves, and tomato into a smooth paste. Set this aside.
Step 2
Boil 5-6 eggs, then gently prick them with a fork to create some texture. Heat oil in a pan and shallow-fry the eggs until they turn a light golden brown. Take them out and keep them aside.
Step 3
In the same pan with the oil, add your blended onion-tomato mixture and cook it on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens a bit.
Step 4
Sprinkle in salt, chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, chili flakes, and cumin seeds. Mix well and let the spices cook for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors come together.
Step 5
Pour in some fresh cream to make a rich, smooth gravy and cook for a couple of minutes. Then gently add the fried eggs—feel free to cut them in half if you like.
Step 6
Finish with a handful of fresh coriander leaves, give it a quick stir, and it’s ready to serve.
Step 7
This goes perfectly with warm lachha parathas or steamed rice—dig in and enjoy!

Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Allow the curry to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stove to maintain its velvety texture.
