    Why We Love This Egg Curry Recipe

    • Quick easy and Protein rich gluten-free recipe
    • You can serve it with Rice or any other bread of your choice.
    • It is a healthier version of Dhaba style curry. It tastes delicious but with lesser fats.

    Ingredients For Egg Curry

    Eggs: Free-range organic eggs taste best and are a healthy protein source. If you do not have them you can use white eggs. 

    Fresh Ingredients: Onion, Tomatoes, ginger, green chillies, coriander leaves.

    Ghee: For authentic taste use ghee or butter.

    Gram flour: or chickpea flour. I roast it before as it brings the authentic dhaba curry texture without cream.

    Spices and Seasonings: Turmeric, chilli powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder, garam masala, coriander powder, kasuri methi

    Salt to taste

    How to Prepare Egg Curry - Step by Step Method

    To make this curry with eggs first make boiled eggs. I have already shared the detailed method to make perfect boiled eggs as well as Instant pot boiled eggs. you can use any of that.

    The second step is making gravy for eggs. For that, the curry masala is cooked using onions and tomatoes along with spices and aromatics until it is fragrant. Water or milk is added to the cooked masala to make gravy.

    The final step is simmering the prepared eggs in this dhaba style gravy. After a few minutes, the aromatic high protein and rustic dhaba style egg curry is ready to be served.

    Recipe Notes

    • Some people add cream or cashew paste during the cooking in this rich curry. But if you know me, you know that I don't like to add too much fat to our everyday cooking. So, I make the egg curry with skim milk, which gives it a pretty good taste and keeps it healthy.
    • For every day, Punjabi Egg Curry masala just replace cream with skimmed milk.  You will be surprised that just doing this swap will save you 100 calories per serving. So you choose what you want. I use skim milk 97% of the time except for very few times when some get-togethers or special requests to make it rich.
    • If I am making rich dhaba style egg masala curry for the party or just for Indulgence, I may add some cream or cashew cream to make gravy richer.

    How to Make Best Punjabi Egg Masala Curry

    • The key to this Punjabi egg curry recipe is in the cooking the masala. Make sure that you cook the masala properly so it is neither raw nor overcooked and browned. Just stop cooking the masala as soon as it starts to leave the sides of the pan. Sometimes overcooking makes the masala taste slightly bitter.
    • Keep stirring the masala in the pan while the masala for egg masala curry is being cooked, if you feel it is getting too dry and there is a risk of burning you can always add 1-2 tablespoon of water and keep it cooking.

    Substitutions

    • Ghee: If you do not want to use ghee you can substitute with any vegetable oil or butter.
    • Eggs: If free range organic eggs are not available you can use regular eggs.

    What to Serve with Egg Masala Curry

    The egg curry for rice, paratha, naan or simply great on its own.  This Masala egg curry recipe or Anda curry is a keeper of a recipe for a busy weekday or a lazy weekend.

    This recipe of Masala Egg curry is healthy because at approximately 200 calories per portion. You still have scope to add some bread or flatbread to mop the gravy or even rice if you are feeling like a comfort meal type of dinner 🙂
