Notes

1. Some people use the whole boiled egg. But, I personally like to cut the egg into the half, so that the final gravy gives a good boiled egg smell.

2. I recommend you to use small onions. If it is hard to find you can use the large ones.

3. If you don’t like more spiciness, you can reduce the amount of curry powder.

4. I instantly made the thin coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find, you can use coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk.
