Hello!!!
Today I am sharing a very simple egg curry recipe from the southern part of India . My boys love the egg recipes and this one of their favorite. Egg are a great source of protein and good for health when eaten in moderation.
For people who don’t eat eggs can replace it with potatoes or Paneer. I bet you will love this yummy recipe to the core.
This is my humble contribution for this week’s 195th #Foodiemonday #Bloghop theme #ThirdLetterMagic suggested by Amrita who blogs at http://thefoodsamaritan.com/

I love the flavourful gravy you have made for this curry. I’m sure I’ll be trying this out soon, maybe with potatoes. Thank you so much for the awesome, detailed recipe. 🙂
Wow Preethi this egg curry sounds totally different. Never made egg curry with tamarind. Looks super tempting. Loved the colour. I love to make eggs in different ways. Bookmaking it to try soon.
An interesting recipe as you’ve added both curry leaves and tamarind which I’ve not added in egg curries. The gravy looks so creamy and rich. I love egg curries so will at some point try out this recipe.
