Notes

Please feel free to use as many or less salted eggs yolks. I used 9 that I had left. This is because my husband loves salted egg yolks but he is not very good with ribs. Hence I want to make more yummy bits for him. You can also adjust the spiciness with the additional of more or less chillies. Please don't save on the curry leaves. They make the dish. The fragrant smell of curry leaves just stir up my taste buds. If you are watching your carbohydrates this is a good snack food. I had them with a whole cucumber for my lunch and felt very satisfied. I admit I have some in the late afternoon too. Watching television and sucking the ribs clean. Burrrpppp
