🥄 Texture

Creamy tomato-onion sauce that lightly coats firm halved boiled eggs; yolks are rich and slightly crumbly while whites remain springy and tender. Overall it’s saucy and smooth with gentle bite from the eggs.

👃 Aroma

Warm, savory notes of toasted cumin and turmeric with sweet caramelized onion and bright cooked tomato; a subtle egg perfume in the background. The overall aroma is homey, mildly spiced, and appetizing.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Chilled salted lassi or a plain yogurt-based drink; alternatively a light lager or masala chai if you prefer something warm.

🥗 Side Dishes

Steamed basmati rice or jeera rice; warm roti, naan, or paratha; cucumber raita and a lemon or mango pickle.
