Egg Ni Curry

Eggs are of great nutritional value and when they are boiled they are much more healthier than in any other form. Infact, a recent study has shown that boiled eggs are good for our vision as they contain carotenoids.

Doctors usually suggest that boiled eggs should be included in our salads, soups and currys more often and we have often heard our elders saying that you must have a boiled egg atleast once in a day.

Egg Curry is a way of making boiled eggs taste even better. They can be made in a variety of ways. This is a quick and easy way of making the curry. The masala made through this recipe is surely going to be finger licking.
