Husband Man loves his portion of Egg; or it is better to say he loves Egg in any possible form which includes Egg Curry as well! This is one of the dishes that I prepare almost once in a week though the type and texture varies. Egg Curry is a very popular Indian dish and there are different variations of this dish are available in different states. The recipe I am sharing this time is the North Indian version of Egg Curry which is also known as Aanda Curry. In North India Egg Curry is prepared with a mixture of spices that includes Cumin Powder, Garam Masala etc and good amount of Onion-Ginger-Garlic. However, Potato is not part of this Egg Curry alike the Bong version of the same.
