Egg Curry Recipe – made with Indian spices and herbs….. Let me tell you this curry is simple to make. The taste of this curry blends well with steamed rice or bread or chapati. You will not know the taste unless you make them.. Eggs are also called as anda or baida in India.
There are lot of variations In India to make an Egg curry. Some use grounded spices, some whole, some make in tomato, some make in coconut. Hence lots of flavor and varaitions.
Again this egg curry is my moms fusion with various Indian spices. She has used fresh grated coconut and also desiccated coconut. I loved and relished this yum curry. My pet loved it too. All I have to say is east or west moms are the best :).. Thank you God for blessing me with such great food which brings a bliss to my stressful life.
