One is either a vegetarian, a non vegetarian or an eggetarian! We have grown up learning ‘Sunday ho ya Monday, roz khao Ande!’ There are endless recipes made with eggs all over the world. In India eggs are happily served in breakfast, lunch, dinner and even on road sides in winter evenings. Something that heats up the body and is a rich source of protein as well. In our daily affairs we commonly make omletes, poach, sunny side up, half frys, srambled eggs or bhurji , boiled and sliced and egg curries. There are different styles of making egg curry, but my favorite is Anda-do-pyaza. Hard boiled eggs in a mild sweet onion gravy with chunks of whole ginger and garlic gives an amazing flavor to my palate. I love to team it up with butter naan and raisin pulao.

- Boil eggs, peel and keep aside.
- Heat oil in a wok, add all the whole spices and as soon as they splutter add garlic and ginger and fry them till golden in color.
- Now add sliced onions and fry all till the onions become mushy and translucent.
- Add chopped tomato and the dry spices except kitchen king and salt. Stir them all together and close the lid on low flame and allow them to fry well slowly till they leave oil from sides. You may adjust oil if needed.
- When the masala is fried add curd and again fry all together in medium flame. Keep stirring and don't allow the masala to stick in the vessel. The curd will leave water, so close the lid after some time and allow the masala to get cooked in that.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and kitchen king. Fry for ew more minutes till you acquire the desired consistency. I prefer keeping it a bit thick.
- Swirl in the cream and give a quick stir once again and switch off the flames.
- Add whole or sliced eggs into the gravy and garnish it with dry kasuri methi or fresh chopped coriander.
- [You can fry the boiled eggs too, it totally depends on your choice]
- Serve hot with Butter Naan and any Pulao.
