Spicy Egg Curry Mangalorean Recipe

 Mangalorean Egg Curry is a tasty dish made from coconut and a unique combination of spices. In our family we all are egg lovers. This dish is a weekly staple in our house.

It is normally made with boiled eggs but I do add 1 or 2 poached egg in the gravy as it enhance the taste of gravy.

You may find it time consuming since you will need to roast all the spices before grinding it. But if you already have roasted spices then its very quick to make.
