We usually make many kinds of egg curries in various ways and since there are quite a few egg recipes on my blog I thought of sharing some of the egg recipes as I keep updating my blog.
This egg curry has got slight tangy flavor as I have made the egg curry in south indian style and in this region many recipes such as fish and egg consist of tamarind extracted pulp which brings a khatta meetha taste into the curry. This kind of curry is usually served in some of the hyderabadi food joints.
This egg curry which has been prepared goes very well with rice. If the gravy desired is thick then do not add more water but, if the egg curry desired is thin then add water as per your requirement. Adding too much of water gives an imbalance of spices in the curry. Therefore, one should be careful in adding the spices and check whether the flavors are intact.
I always prefer to fry eggs a little bit and add it to the curry. Adding plain boiled eggs is a big no no for me and I suggest to fry the eggs slightly as they taste well when eating this curry with eggs and rice.
Egg is a wonderful ingredient and one can cook various dishes with ease and quickly. I would love to post various egg recipes for my blog readers to try it out and have fun having them.
