All you need is to make a thick gravy of your choice, I prefer onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and whole spices. A couple of hard-boiled eggs sliced in quarters and then cooked in the gravy. They will break off, thus thickening the gravy and adding more flavors to it. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander leaves for a hint of freshness.
