Many of you love to have Eggs . Eggs are powerhouse of nutrition packed with protein and many vitamins and minerals.
My Kids love to have eggs and their favorite dish is Egg curry. I try to make something different each time.
This time I made egg curry (Andhra Style) that is spicy and tangy. It was finger licking good.

Looks fabulous.. I love ur presentation..
This looks delicious!! It’s so awesome your kids like eggs, when I was little I thought they were yucky… good thing I grew out of it because they *are* packed with protein and good stuff. Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you Natalia. Do try this if you eat eggs now and I am sure you will love it.
I adore egg curry, it is a good job we have dicks and chickens to keep us in eggs as we make something similar to this fairly regularly, will keep this recipe in mind on the next time round and give it a try 😀
Thanks Brian.Do give your feedback whenever you try.
Oh, this is one fine looking dish. I love egg curry, but have never seen it prepared this way before. I’m going to try this, but I’m going to use quail eggs instead.
Thank you. Do try and give your feedback.
Thanks Madiha. You can replace eggs with Mushroom or Non veg too.In case you try this recipe for gravy do share your feedback.
