Kerala Style Egg Curry

"Sunday ho ya monday Roz khaao ande" I hope you all remember this commercial from the 90's!!

Seer nostalgia !!! Isn't it ?


Well rightly said in the commercial that egg is one of the most nutritious food one can have every day and readily available any time any place , but eating only boiled or omelette gets boring with time.

How about adding some twist to it ???
