tomato egg curry or easy spicy andhra egg curry recipe – Eggs are a wonderful source of protein and can be used to dish up a quick side for a meal. Today I will share how to make egg curry with tomato gravy. This curry can be made spicy using a good strong garam masala powder to get that hint of spice. It can as well be prepared without any garam masala powder and ginger garlic paste , but i have used a light garam masala and that is optional.
In andhra cuisine, we don’t use onion or tomato paste, the recipes are kept simple without grinding onions and tomatoes. This is an easy egg curry recipe that where every thing is just chopped and used.
Boiled eggs are just simmered in onion tomato gravy and then thick coconut milk is added at the end, which is optional. After adding the coconut milk the gravy is not cooked anymore. The taste and aroma of this egg masala is very different from tomato egg curry.All have distinct taste and flavors.
