Good to know
Making it ahead?
Boil the eggs and stir the yogurt the night before; both keep in the fridge. Chop the cucumber and tomatoes when you build the bowl.
As a meal?

As written, 523 kcal goes into the pot and 748 g of ingredients comes out as about 748 g of food: 70 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts.
