Eggs are simmered in spicy & delicious Indian gravy ! 🙂
I always tend to have eggs at home. So, if you are having some guest coming home, and you wanted to make a quick tasty side dish, this is the one you need to make. And quickly serve with some hot basmati rice.
I made this egg masala long back when some of my friends came for lunch with my favorite Hyderabad Lamb Biryani. It was drafted for a long time in my list to post, thought this is the right time to post it because I did not pretty much cook anything for past one week. The masalas in this egg roast are finger licking good. Eggs are the best friend for bachelor cooking I guess, easy to make it for a side dish. So, if you wanted to make it special with a comfort lunch without much of work and grocery shopping 
Then go for this!
Then go for this!

Notes
1. It is spicy curry, so adjust your spice level according to it!
If you make a some restaurant style Biryani, pulao for this egg fry,
that’s a complete lunch. Even it tastes great with plain rice or Indian bread.
