Egg Curry

I love Egg Curry.. When I was a kid, I used to like only boiled egg.. specially the yellow moon inside... I never liked the white part.. But, now I am quite opposite... Hmm.. strange how we change as we grow up.

My school friend Gowri asked me to post this recipe last week.. So, here I am with this simple.. yet.. delicious egg curry..

I do prepare egg curry in different ways. This is one of the method. I will post the other methods as well when I do it.
