Aah boiled egg curry makes me reminisce about being at home. I love eggs and to pop them into a curry is pure genius in my world. 🙂 This curry amongst others was a staple in our house and one i looked forward to a lot.
There’s so much going on at the moment! One of those things was my appearance in a magazine i have been reading for years. EEEEK. Alhamdulillah. As a result of which, i was contacted by another magazine. Double EEEK.
Also, the best thing that has happened over the past week is that alot of you have been getting in contact and that makes me happy. It is so nice to hear from our readers so please keep writing. I LOVE it.
Website wise, we are going through a huge overhaul. When i took my first tentative steps into blog land, i wasn’t quite sure if i was doing it right and the photography was horrific. Now 5 – 6 months down the line, i look back and cringe at some of the posts, so like most of my fellow bloggers, i will be going through and revising old posts soon. I have learnt so much over the last few months that i have yet to apply and i’m pretty excited to get those things done. We are also changing the look of the website, to make it easier to navigate.
Anyway, this egg curry is perfect with some roti/chappati or even rice but i much prefer mine with roti. I love scooping it up in bits of chappati and devouring a plate full of it.

Recipe Notes
You may need to adjust the amount of chillies according to your taste. I like a spicy egg curry!
The frying of the boiled eggs isn't an essential step. It is something i do sometimes to help the paste 'cling' to the eggs.

Aww please try, its awesome and so yummy!
I love Indian dishes and make them somewhat often. I have never added an egg or made that the base of my dish. I really need to do that. I think my wife would really like that. Your sauce looks deep with flavor.
Do try it, its so good!
