Quick Egg Curry – Week night Dinner Idea

 

Hello My Dear Wonderful Readers,

How have the holidays been? I haven’t had time to make a decent meal for the past few days. Cleaning up the house, in turn falling sick and managing the little one has been the only thing I can find time for. So this recipe is my easy egg curry recipe and yes I cheated, I bought the Wheat Malabar Paratha from the store cause I couldn’t find time to make that as well too. So here is my recipe for the simple and easy boiled egg curry for weeknight dinners!

Ingredients –

1. Eggs – 5
2. Onions – 3 medium size – julienned
3. Tomatoes – 3 small – chopped fine
4. Curry Leaves – 8 – 10

10. Cumin Seeds – 1/tsp
11. Oil – 1 tsp
