Inspired by paneer butter masala it is perfect for the times when I need something special with ordinary ingredients. The best thing about this egg recipe is you can make this with easily available ingredients in my pantry. And, this is also known as makhani anda curry.

In this north Indian style egg butter masala, I  have used freshly made masala of makhani gravy. The gravy base is same as my makhani gravy base. You can make makhani gravy base in advance and use the same in Making makhani paneer, or paneer butter masala, as well as butter chicken. So most of the times I make this makhani sauce during my weekend Meal prep when I plan my weekly Indian meal plans.

All you need is some butter and oil add makhani gravy base, some milk and boiled eggs for a delicious gravy to enjoy with Chapathi, laccha paratha, or with steamed rice just like I do.

You can use hard-boiled eggs or medium boiled eggs in the curry. I have already written about the right method of how to make perfect boiled eggs, How to make Instant pot eggs. Because you need perfectly-boiled eggs even if we are not making this recipe and also because I have few more Boiled egg recipes.

How to Make Egg Curry Masala

Recipe Notes for Egg Butter masala curry recipe

• I skipped adding extra cream in this recipe. To make the makhani gravy richer you can add 2-3 tablespoon of cashew paste or cream after switching off the heat.
• While making any egg curry always slit the eggs so the eggs absorb all flavours of makhani gravy.
• I added dry makhani masala for extra taste. If you do not have that you can skip that.
• Do not brown the masala or overcook the masala. Perfect makhani gravy should neither be overcooked nor undercooked.
