Egg Curry taken by peachpurple
Ironically, when you you ask someone what
kind of food do Indian food would taste best
, one would automatically bound to reply,
“CURRY! “
Indeed, most Indian foods are related to
spicy recipes which included curry powder,
spices but not every spiced dish is related to
curry.
Each Indian recipe distinctly uses different
type of spices and herbs, depending on the
combination of ingredients involved.
Believe it or not, today, I had whip up a
vegetarian Indian egg curry which is best
served with white or brown rice and
Roti Canai.
This egg curry recipe is almost the same as
any fish or chicken curry recipes .
The curry gravy is not thick, it is meatless
and it doesn’t use any coconut milk.
Hence it is not high in cholesterol.
Roti Canai is alike Western pancakes.
It is a flat bread that looked more alike
pancake, made from flour, ghee, water and
egg.
Do try this Egg Curry recipe out and let
me know how it turns out.

It looks good and attractive in seeing but I think will not be tasty in eating because I do not like it but just eggs eating but now I will make egg curry as I have been told by my friend last night as Making these veg eggs is very easy. We just need paneer as primary ingredient. There are the few things to remember while making them to get he perfect outcome:
Grate paneer very fine before making these veg eggs.
Knead paneer for at least 6-7 minutes so that it become smooth and easy to work with.
The outer surface of paneer eggs should be smooth like regular eggs.
Make sure while making eggs use gentle hands as these are very soft.
The gravy I made for this eggless egg curry is same which I used for dhaba style egg curry as I think it goes best with these paneer eggs. You can also try with some creamy gravy, I think that should also just work fine.
And if you want to eat paneer ke ande without gravy, just shallow fry them first. Cut them lengthwise and then shallow fry again from inside till they become crispy. Garnish them with fine chopped onions, chillies, coriander leaves and sprinkle some chaat masala on top. Tastes heaven
