Egg curry masala or Anda curry is one of the popular Indian dishes made with boiled eggs simmered in spicy onion & tomato gravy.
Egg curry masala is one of the most comfortable dishes for non-vegetarians & eggetarians, as it gets ready in very little time as compared to other non-vegetarian dishes.
It has a nice thick & spicy gravy that pairs very well with chapatis, butter roti, parathas, plain pulao, jeera rice or you can simply have it with steamed rice.
Anda curry or egg curry can be made in different ways, as everyone has their way of preparing the gravy and just a little change in the spices changes the whole taste of the masala.
In this recipe, I am going to share my version of making egg curry in thick and spicy gravy. The recipe is quite simple and can be prepared in very little time with minimum effort and ingredients.
The full detailed recipe for making this delicious and flavorful egg curry masala is discussed below and I am sure that its aromatic flavours will make you drool for it.
