This egg drop masala curry recipe is an Indian style poached egg curry.
Usually I prepare boiled egg curries, but this poached egg style dish is a totally different method, where eggs are broken and dropped on the gravy and allowed to cook.
Its also called as udaithu oothiya muttai kuzhambu in Tamil, based on the preparation method.
This simple and delicious curry can be served with rice, dosas or chapathis.
