I tried this egg curry on a lazy day when it was lunch only for me and hubby. I was so lazy to make anything elaborate so made this spicy egg curry phulka and curd rice.As you can see my clicks justifies my laziness too but still wanted to post this recipe for a record here.I always love freshly ground masala base recipes and this one is going to be my keeper when I run out of time.
