Egg recipes are comfort food recipes as they can be easily cooked and are always delicious. This is my Mom's special recipe and everyone in the family loves this gravy. This curry is less spicy, very aromatic but tastes too good. Eggs are either cooked directly in the gravy or boiled and then added to the gravy. I have already posted the same recipe in which the eggs are cooked directly in the gravy, click here to know more. The curry's flavors gets incorporated into the eggs very well, as halved boiled eggs are added the flavors gets into the eggs easily. This recipe can be served with Rice, Chapati, Poori, Roti varieties and Parota. Try this and you will definitely add it into your menu!!
