I love a good ‘curry in a hurry’ and this recipe is that. Best part? It’s great for meatless Mondays as well as the ”i don’t know what to cook” days. It goes well with rice, chapati or even a slice of bread.
If you ask me, I think the hardest challenge in making this curry it de-shelling the eggs, thats how simple it is.
I have a few friends and my daughter who were skeptical about trying the egg curry, their verdict? Unexpectedly delicious and filling.
