Egg Kolhapuri Recipe ~ Side Dish for Chapati

From Amma's Dairy comes yet another gravy for today, with eggs as the main feature. Now the name given to the recipe is Kolhapuri, while I have no clue as to why this is called Egg Kolhapuri, I simply wanted to follow what the recipe said. I am always on the look out for some good egg gravies as it comes very handy when I quickly have to make the dinner.

Anyway most egg gravies become eggy towards the end, so I normally reserve some gravy for me and add the boiled eggs in the end. That way everybody gets their dinner served!
