As everyone knows the egg is an excellent source of high-quality protein and rich in vitamins b, zinc, calcium, and important nutrients. Like the same hard-boiled eggs are low-calorie, nutrient-rich food that is easily digestible.

The dish typically includes eggs, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, ginger garlic paste, coconut, and a blend of spices such as turmeric, garam masala, and coriander powder. For this recipe, the eggs are first steamed and cooked in a coconut tomato-based gravy. The gravy is prepared separately by sauteing the onions, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green chilies, curry leaves, and ginger garlic paste in oil until golden brown. Then a mixture of coconut spices and tomato paste is added to create a rich and aromatic base. Once the gravy is done, the steamed eggs are added to it and simmered together allowing the flavors to meld. Bhapa dimer korma is often garnished with coriander leaves and served hot with rice chapati or naan.

The dish is known for its balanced flavors, with the creaminess, complementing the warmth of the spices. It has a mild heat from the green chillies and a rich aromatic aroma from the combination of spices. Overall, bhapa dimer korma is a delicious and comforting dish that is enjoyed as a part of Bengali cuisine, offering a satisfying blend of textures and flavors.
