Egg Curry
Egg being the wonderful source of proteins can be used to make many delicious dishes. One such amazing dish is that of Egg Curry where boiled eggs are just simmered in spicy masala gravy. It has a nice tangy taste of tomatoes coupled with the flavors and taste of the spices that are used.
You can always use leftover eggs from the breakfast or a party and toss it in a curry when you don’t feel like cooking elaborate dishes but still like to have a delicious, scrumptious meal for dinner.
This egg curry can be paired with rice, rotis or dishes like appam, pathiri and noolappam. I love to add a lot of onions while making this egg curry and I feel that it gives it an added flavour.
