Notes
- Add 1/4 cup coconut if you want a more thick gravy and also it gives good volume when you are serving for a crowd.
- You can skip mustard seeds and just temper cumin seeds alone.
- It serves as a best accompaniment for rasam / sambar rice too. Or you can have the gravy with plain rice too.
- This is little on the spicy side so adjust red chillies according to your spice level.
- Don't fry the eggs for long else it will turn rubbery.
- Freshly roasted and grind spices gives a great flavour to this curry so don't miss it.
