Another great dish from eggs. There are many variations or style one can do out of an egg, curries or gravy, omelettes, quiche to name a few.
When you want something quick nothing beats an egg curry or gravy. This time I tried out Punjabi Style Egg Curry. Mr Hubby likes the egg in a gravy or sambal shallow fry. Best with chapatis, rotis and rice.
