Egg Curry
Description
The Egg Masala / Curry / Roast is a dish originated in India as an easy meal to make when you don't have much on hand. Many non-vegetarians go for an egg curry when meat is not available, as there will always be eggs in the fridge and spices in the cupboard!
The “deviled egg” can be traced back to ancient Rome, where boiled eggs were seasoned with spicy sauces and served as a starter meal during gatherings and feasts.
Egg Masala preparations in India may vary in terms of either being a dry roast or a curry (gravy) and may be prepared in the oil popular in the region. Some may add either cream or coconut milk to enrich the gravy especially when devoured with freshly baked nans or malabar parottas. Most North Indians prefer garnishing with fresh coriander while the South Indians prefer a generous amount of curry leaves added. Anyway you prepare them, the egg masala is an all-time favourite!
