🔥 Tips for Perfect Egg Varuval:

1. Use Hard-Boiled Eggs
   Boil the eggs for about 9–10 minutes until hard-boiled. Let them cool, peel them, and gently score them with a knife so spices seep in better.

2. Fry the Eggs First
   Lightly shallow fry the boiled eggs in a bit of oil with a pinch of turmeric, chili powder, and salt. This gives a golden, crispy texture and locks in flavor.

3. Caramelize the Onions
   Sauté onions until golden brown for that deep, sweet-savory base flavor. This step is key for great taste.

4. Balance the Spices
   Adjust spice levels to your taste. Pepper and garam masala add depth, while coriander powder balances heat.

5. Use Fresh Curry Leaves
   Don’t skip these! Curry leaves bring an authentic aroma and are essential in South Indian flavors.

6. Tomatoes Optional
   Adding a chopped tomato makes the dish a little saucier. If you want a dry varuval, skip it.

7. Finish with a Masala Toss
   Once the masala is ready, toss in the fried eggs and coat them well. Cook for a few minutes so they absorb the spices.

8. Garnish Well
   Top with fresh coriander leaves and maybe a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
