• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or kadhai over medium heat.

6. Simmer the Curry

Pro Tips

1. To make the gravy richer, you can substitute cream with cashew paste or coconut milk.
2. For an extra spicy kick, add one more green chili to the green masala paste.
3. Lightly score the boiled eggs before adding them to the curry; this helps them absorb the flavors better.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve Hariyali Egg Curry with soft tawa parathas, fragrant jeera rice, or even a simple pulao.
• Accompany it with a refreshing boondi raita or a crisp green salad to balance the richness.
