NOTES:

The chopped onions that I  added were just to give the curry some texture, but feel free to leave it out.

This can be made in the Instant Pot to make it even easier! You can refer to Ashley’s blog to see how. She actually boils the eggs at the same time as cooking the curry!  Check out this recipe on her blog – Instant Pot Royal Egg Korma

If you do not have onion masala, you can fry one chopped onion, when brown, add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, add 2 chopped tomatoes. Cook and puree when cooled. Then add in the recipe when needed. I highly recommend making onion masala if you are short on time and like eating Indian food.

If you do not have curry leaves you can leave them out.
