Mumbai style Egg curry is spicy egg curry cooked with lots of spicy chilly and topped with grated cheese and serve like a street style food along with buttered pav buns.
I have an egg obsession, if you don't really know till now, you must see few of egg dishes I cook (Egg Recipes). But I know quite a few people who are as obsessive as me and want me to keep share egg recipes too { The egg Biryani Video on My Facebook page which has got 121K plus view tell me that 😀 }
You might have tried various types of egg curries, Bengali style Dimer Dalna/Jhol, Punjabi style anda curry or Kerala style egg roast but this Mumbai style egg curry is different from all these. The way of cooking eggs, spices used and how it is served makes it quite different from your usual egg curries.
I am calling this particular egg curry a Mumbai style egg curry, because this is a curry I tried from a small hole in a wall restaurant in Mumbai. Just like any other street style curry this is spicy, rich and oh so good! Pair it with Roti / paratha or even buttered pav buns. it really tastes like heaven, if you are egg lover like me.
The spicy street style egg curry is perfect for the times when your next grocery order is almost due and you don't have too many ingredients to plan your meal. All you need is few staples which are mostly there in the refrigerator and pantry. Within few minutes, you can cook lip smacking and finger licking good curried eggs for your dinner.
Grated hard boiled eggs are cooked in tomato based gravy and seasoned with lots of chillies and Pao Bhaji masala blend, generous squeeze of lime and topped with lots of cheese, what's not to love 🙂
Nutrition wise it is totally gluten free high protein dish and if you pair it with any gluten free bread you have got yourself a good quality high protein meal and this is also low glycemic index meal if you choose your bread which is low GI too.

Hi there in strps 5 and 6 it say to add tomato puree twice so im confused as when to add it, this may be a typo??
Rekha Kakkar
In India, we mostly use pureed fresh tomatoes (tomatoes peeled and blended) for the gravy. In this recipe, I have used fresh pureed tomatoes and regular tomato puree.
You can use canned chopped tomatoes that will also be fine.
Victor
So what how much tomato puree should be added?
Sarah Sharma
Hello,
The quantity of tomato puree fresh and store bought isn't metioned.
Jyoti
Can we add garlic also... I don't like only ginger curries
Rekha Kakkar
yes, you can 🙂 that's the personal preference. I like to say any recipe is a reference you may cook it as it is or better still personalize it as per your taste!

Hey, I tried this recipe and I liked it so much.
I ate it like sandwich, this masala between two sandwich breads roasted slightly in butter. It tastes like pavbhaji due to pavbhaji masala...
Thank you so much for this dish.
