This is an Amazing recipe. I tweaked it for what I had on hand and it turned out amazing. I love how you added the part about waiting untli the oil pools. This is so important in Indian cooking to get that curry you’d get at an Indian resteraunt. Thanks for sharing.

@Kashif it was a mistake, I forgot to write that eggs will be placed on top of the curry just before serving them. Slice them up nicely and place them beautifully.
I like yr receipe.We r preparing in same fashion except using yogurt.would you plse tell me adding yogurt change flavour.what is the importance of yogort.
@Neetu: Yogurt is used to make the gravy, it adds a texture to the gravy which is not the same if you use tomatoes. Yes Yogurt ofcourse adds flavor to it which will be different if you used tomatoes.
