Cook the spices for a minute. 6. *Tomato Puree:* Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala. 7. *Yogurt and Cashew Paste:* Lower the heat and add the whisked yogurt and cashew paste, stirring continuously to prevent curdling. Cook for a few minutes. 8. *Coconut Milk:* Add the coconut milk and mix well. Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes. 9. *Green Chilies:* Add slit green chilies. 10. *Combine Eggs:* Add the fried eggs to the gravy. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes so the eggs absorb the flavors. 11. *Finish with Garam Masala:* Add garam masala powder and mix well.
