Recipe Notes

Grinding the mustard properly is important to prevent it from turning bitter.

Additional Tips

  • For an extra punch of mustard flavor, grind fresh black mustard seeds with a pinch of salt and green chilies, then mix with a little water to make a smooth paste before adding it to the gravy—this ensures maximum pungency and aroma.
  • If you prefer a creamier gravy, temper the yogurt by whisking it with a spoonful of warm water before adding it to the pan, which helps prevent curdling and gives the sauce a silkier texture.
  • To infuse more depth, lightly fry the boiled eggs until golden before adding them to the gravy; this gives a subtle smoky flavor and a firmer texture that absorbs the sauce beautifully.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; the flavors deepen as they rest, making the dish even tastier when reheated gently with a splash of water to loosen the gravy.
