Because of its health benefits and simplicity people started making experiments and now we have many egg recipes next to chicken recipes. Our version of the recipe goes well with both Indian variants of bread like plain paratha, butter naan, chapati etc. and rice recipes like pulao and biryanis.
As said our Egg curry Recipe is simple, if you want we can even add coconut milk, coconut grate or even cashew to give gravy. I have substituted the above ingredients with onion and tomato paste to give thick gravy. To enhance our recipe’s taste we have added 2 tablespoons of curd.
Tips to make a simple egg curry recipe:
- To get rich and creamy gravy we can substitute onion-tomato paste with coconut or cashew paste.
- Add salt or lemon pieces while boiling eggs so that they get cooked well without cracks.
- Although we can add eggs directly into the curry, frying them with a blend of spices will enhance the flavour of our recipe.
- Pierce eggs with a knife or fork so that it absorbs the flavours of spices.
- We have added green chillies at the end to give mild spiciness as we have already added red chilli powder while making the curry.
