    Egg Curry Ingredients

    • Eggs –  I have used brown / country eggs but you can use white eggs too.
    • Oil – Use any cooking oil. Generally I use groundnut oil for cooking so used that for this egg curry. You can use refined oil too.
    • Onion, Tomato – Onion, tomato along with ginger, garlic and green chilies forms the base for this gravy.
    • Tempering – A tempering with whole spices including cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, green chilies is done along with spice powders.
    • Spices –The spice powders used here for this are turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder.
    • Fresh Cream – Fresh cream is added to give a richness and creaminess to the gravy. You can replace it with thick curd or even milk.

    Expert Tips

    • You can replace fresh cream with milk or yogurt for a low fat version.
    • Half down onion, tomato to make a thick gravy. If you want more gravy add more onion, tomatoes.
    • For the above mentioned quantity you can add 4-6 eggs.
    • Hard boiled eggs is best for this curry. You can even slice the eggs into half and add it. But make sure to serve it as soon as possible as there are chances for egg yolk.
    • If you add hard boiled whole eggs then you can make it well ahead of time if you are planning it for parties, get together.

    Serving & Storage Suggestion

    You can serve Egg Curry with phulka, rice, roti etc. Egg Curry keeps well in room temperature for a day and in fridge for 2 days. But I would not recommend storing eggs and consuming so it is always best to consume when fresh.
