MUTTAI KUZHAMBU -Egg Curry

Muttai/Egg kuzhambu is simple and quick recipe. We are not using boiled egg in this curry as we do in usual egg curry. This recipe is a good side dish for chapati and rice. Egg curry is prepared in n number of methods. This is one of my favorite methods.

SERVING SUGGESTION :

• Serve with chapati or rice.
