Dhaba Style Egg Curry
After the relaxing holidays and lovely weekend, I am happy to be here with a spicy egg curry recipe. This dhaba style egg curry is very flavorful, hot and absolutely fingerlicking yummy. In this recipe, the boiled eggs are cooked...in a thick onion tomato based gravy infused with aromatic spices. It tastes excellent with tandoori rotis, parathas or fried rice. Also you can use baby potatoes instead of egg in this same recipe for veg version.
