Notes
I add salt to water to raise the temperature.
Vinegar in water prevents the egg shells from breaking.
I like to crush the masala in a mortar and pestle. The grains add to the taste in every bite. Use a mixer grinder if you are in a rush.
Be gentle and careful while flipping the eggs. If the yolks are in place, they add to the visual appeal.
