This Creamy White Egg curry is brimming with flavor thanks to all the spices, it’s rich and creamy and it’s amazingly hearty when you finish it off with basmati rice or naan.
Egg Curry
Egg curry is common to several countries including India, countries in Asia and the Caribbean. When in doubt and when you are running out of ideas and time, egg curry comes in handy. There are so many varieties of egg curry: South Indian Egg Curry, Bengali Style Egg Omelette Curry, Carribean Egg shakshuka. And this egg curry iis a rich version that I usually make during summers and for special parties or dinners.
I love that it has few rich ingredients, simple spices leaving it with incredibly robust flavor. The nutty flavors are outstanding in this creamy egg curry.
And of course it’s got an abundance of sauce because that’s what creamy egg curry is all about – that irresistible sauce for soaking up with naan or serving alongside rice.
