Aanda (Egg) Curry

Egg curry is one of those things you cook when you are tired from a hard days of work and want something warm and comforting for dinner. Growing up my mom use to make a version of this curry in addition to boiled potato cubes, I simply cut the carbs out of in my version. I have also changed the base of the curry a little to better suit my family’s flavor preference.

This is a very simple weeknight dinner option that doesn’t take a lot of effort and is super filling, can be eaten with rice or roti (flat bread) . This is also a great dish for entertaining your eggetarian friends. It comes together rather quickly and leftovers are great when heated. A few simple ingredients from your pantry and refrigerator will help you get a good night’s sleep after a comforting dinner.

I hope you guys give this recipe a try and love it as much as we do and add it to your weeknight menu plan.
