6. Give it a nice whisk with a spoon to mix all the ingredients uniformly
7. Add the eggs in the tiffin box after de-shelling them
8. Take spoonfuls of the marinade and pour over the eggs
9. Close the lid of the tiffin box

Cooking the Dim Bhapa Recipe

1. In a sauce pan or pressure cooker, put in the tiffin box
2. Add water so that the level of the water does not rise more than 40% of the
tiffin box
3. Cover the sauce pan or pressure cooker to prevent the steam from escaping
4. Switch on the flame and let the steam cook for 15 to 20 minutes
5. Once done, switch off the flame and very carefully take the tiffin box out of
the sauce pan or pressure cooker. Remember that it will be very hot and
hence you should exercise extreme caution during this step
6. Serve hot with rice

Notes
Coconut is optional. Adding coconuts increase the flavor of the dish. While I
understand that grating coconut may not be possible for everyone, you can
get coconut milk or coconut powder in the grocery stores. If you are using
coconut powder, 1 tbsp is sufficient. If you are using coconut milk 1/3 cup will
do good for 2 servings
You can use a mix of black and white mustard seeds, or only black mustard
seeds, or simply white mustard seeds, based on what is available in your
pantry. Remember, black mustard seeds have greater pungency than white
mustard seeds
Turmeric adds a beautiful yellow color to the final result. You may however
skip it if you want a white gravy
Use mustard oil for the maximum flavor
If you do not like mustard, you can only use poppy seeds. Increase the
amount of poppy seeds and it will turn out equally positive minus the
pungency of the mustard
