Egg Curry Mughlai Style

This was lying in my draft for quite some time. Mostly I note down my recipes but this one I am just trying to remember. I trust my memory so I am sure I will give the exact ingredients  ha ha. My mom is here so I am gonna make my favorite dish modak tomorrow. My mouth is watering already.

Infact today we had chinese fried rice, boiled eggs and I had some french fries too. Evening some corn fritters and tea. Night time Goan Prawns Masala and some veggies. I feel like baking right now but I am sharing so I will make cake later. Mostly curry leaves aren’t used in Mughlai Cuisine however I have used some so its optional.
