Dhaba Style Egg Curry

Egg curry is quite popular in India and is made in several ways in different parts of the country. Some versions are very spicy! The recipe that I am sharing today is more or less of the egg curry that I grew up eating. For the curry base, I have used both onion and tomatoes, you may use tomatoes only. It will still be as delicious! Egg Curry is a deliciously rich onion tomato gravy, tastes exactly like the ones you get in dhabas. These are perfect with some rice or paratha and fresh salad on the side. This is a medium spicy dish. It is a go to recipe. we have made this recipe with a few ingredients and managed to keep Indian traditions alive with its amazing taste and concluded it in one pot challenge!
