Paneer egg gravy recipe with video – Paneer and egg curry is a common dish in some parts of North India and are not only served in Highway Dhabas but also in some restaurants. This curry is served with Naan, lacha paratha, Jeera rice and even with plain rice. I had some readers requests for this recipe, so sharing it.
This paneer egg curry is slightly on the heavier side, so can be made on special occasions or when you have guests home. This is quick to make, tastes delicious and can be made for parties too. To make it extra special you can also add few cashews in the gravy.
