Egg Gravy Punjabi Style

Egg Gravy Punjabi Style

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.
