Eggs are a good source of proteins and essential amino acids. Coming from the northern part of India, egg curry was a regular on the  menu every few days at our home. The curry was made in a fairly similar way by parching the onions, adding masala and tomatoes, etc. However since I started to travel across India, I found that the same curry is cooked and consumed in various Indian states with slight variations, each of them bringing some local flavors. I’ve started to love these variations as it helps me to create a different taste every time I cook the dish and I keep getting praises from my family and guests on being innovative. I’m sure you too can create these slight variations to your every day cooking and surprise your family and guests. Here I’ve made egg curry with coconut milk, a variation which comes from the southern part of India and it gives a lovely flavor, color and appeal. I’m sure you would love this recipe.
