"Poached Egg Curry is a unique and comforting Indian dish where eggs are gently poached directly in a simmering, spiced gravy rather than being boiled beforehand. This method allows the eggs to absorb the rich flavors of the curry while staying soft and tender. The gravy is typically made with a base of onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger, seasoned with traditional Indian spices like turmeric, red chili powder, coriander, and garam masala. As the sauce simmers, raw eggs are carefully cracked into the curry and allowed to cook slowly until the whites set and the yolks remain slightly runny or fully cooked, depending on preference. This dish offers a delicate texture and bold flavor in every bite. Best served hot with steamed rice or soft Indian breads like chapati or paratha, Poached Egg Curry is a humble yet satisfying meal—especially loved in home kitchens for its simplicity and rustic charm."

"Chicken Do Pyaza is a flavorful North Indian dish that literally means “chicken with double onions.” The dish is named for its generous use of onions, added at two different stages of cooking—first finely chopped to form the base of the curry, and later in larger chunks or slices to add texture and a mild sweetness. The chicken is cooked in a rich, semi-dry gravy made with tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a blend of traditional Indian spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. The layered addition of onions gives the curry depth and a slightly caramelized flavor, balancing the heat and acidity of the spices and tomatoes. Often garnished with fresh coriander and sometimes a squeeze of lemon, Chicken Do Pyaza is best enjoyed with naan, roti, or jeera rice. It’s a beloved dish in Mughlai and Punjabi cuisine, known for its bold taste and hearty appeal."
