Egg Masala Curry (Healthy & Flavorful)

We keep cooking various styles of egg curries like egg Mughlai curry, egg Punjabi curry, Goan egg curry the list goes on and on. Especially when you have guests home and unsure what to cook an egg curry would always come handy and convenient. Moreover, even some vegetarian’s eat egg as they are a good source of protein. We love egg curries hence come up with new ways of making them.

For this recipe no need of grinding anything except fresh coconut paste. Rest of the ingredient’s you should easily find in your kitchen. If fresh coconut isn’t available then use desiccated coconut instead. Have used hard boiled egg for this dish alternatively, you could drop eggs and allow them to cook in the curry.
