Boiled Egg Curry – 2

This past week, we got a cook at home. Actually, there are these two sisters; A and R; who help clean our home and when we needed a cook, we asked the older of the two, A, to help us. And what a boon she turned out to be. While she is learning “our way” of cooking, she also has this store of recipes that she gladly shares with me and cooks for us.

This version of the boiled egg curry is A‘s concoction and what a yummy thing dish it was. The best part about this curry is that boiled eggs absorb the wonderful, spicy gravy and that makes it even more yummy! 🙂

The best part about this dish is that it is very easy to make and gets done in a jiffy.
