Egg Masala Curry (Quick & Easy)

This is a punjabi style egg curry and without cream, it’s not complete. However adding cream is optional instead you could use cashew nut paste for a healthier option. If you don’t have punjabi garam masala powder the use regular indian garam masala powder. Check notes for below for more details.

For the tomato puree just chop and grind them to a smooth paste. You could use canned tomatoes but fresh ones would be preferred. If you are a vegetarian then add potatoes or paneer instead of eggs. For variation, you could fry them add in the curry.

Apparently have posted Punjabi chicken masala curry, Punjabi prawns masala curry and Punjabi pav bhaji recipe which is equally delicious. We love curries and masala preparation at home so keep making them quite often. Both with veg and nonveg although I prefer eating veg food most of the times.

You need to first hard boil the eggs, peel and use them for this recipe. You could slice them or use them full it’s your choice. Also, learn how to each time boil your eggs perfectly here.
