Tips:

Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor.
Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili peppers or omit them altogether.
Be sure to cook the eggs until they are firm, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will become tough and rubbery.
Serve the egg curry with rice, roti, or naan bread.
Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
