Egg masala recipeis a simple Indian dry curry of boiled eggs.
I love eggs for the simple reason that they can be prepared quickly and are totally versatile.
You could prepare an egg drop masala curry which is a poached egg curry, a cauliflower mutta thoran where eggs are paired with cauliflower or an egg kurma where eggs are cooked in a coconut gravy, the list is endless.
Coming to this recipe, it is a very simple one where boiled eggs are coated with a spiced onion-tomato mixture.
A dish that can be prepared quickly, you could serve it as a side dish for rice or rotis.
