Roasted Egg Curry

Roasted Egg Curry

 

I made this curry after watching it on a TV show and followed it to the T and guess what the boys verdict was? It totally sucked. As I do not eat eggs, I just tasted the gravy alone and totally agreed with them. Something was totally missing and despite the fact that I liked the way in which it was made, this dish just refused to go to that another level. So made a few adjustments and tried it once more and those changes did wonders to the bland curry. A very simple, yet delicious one this one turned out to be. So give it a try and see for yourself as it makes a definite change from the regular egg curries.

 

 

Did I tell you that, I have started physiotherapy for my right knee which started paining again after put weight on it by carrying water pots. So forgive me friends, though I visit all your posts everyday I could not leave a comment as it takes more time and I’m unable to remain in a same position for more than 15-20 mins and it starts to pain again. I do have to follow the Doc’s orders right. Hope you’ll keep visiting mine.
