My recipe files contain close to a few hundred egg curry recipes. Our family is fond of eggs and are an integral part of our daily meals especially breakfast. Whenever I venture out to make an egg curry, I try to prepare a recipe that I haven’t made earlier. One of our favorite is a fennel (saunf) flavored egg curry that goes great with rotis. The addition of coconut, tomatoes and garam masala lend the curry body and a myriad of flavors.
