Egg Kurma is a rich gravy dish that is made with coconut and cashew paste. The egg is slit so it absorbs the gravy a little and adds a nice taste.
The dish goes well with rice or roti. It's easy to make so a good one for lunch boxes as well.
I have used the same gravy and substituted the eggs with soya chunks ones and it turned out well.
