Let the flame of the stove be on low. Add in the eggs one at a time to the curry. Let it simmer with a lid covered for 10 minutes. DO NOT stir after adding the eggs.
Tip: I prefer to break the eggs in a bowl and then add the egg in the bowl to the curry. I find that the eggs hold its shape better if poured from a bowl rather than breaking the eggs directly into the curry.

  5. Hi, Am an amature male cook. Tried this recipe and the result was near perfect. I had it with rice.

  6. Hi Suguna, thanks so much for sharing your precious recipes with us. I had a question for you – The Marathi muggu you refer to (almost clove looking) is available and I have it. There is another spice that goes by the name of Marathi muggu (looks like the long Kerala pepper…but smooth exterior) I’m confused which of the 2 is the real deal. Can you pls shed some light on it. A quick Google search for Marathi mukku/muggu shows both these spices. Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
