Egg Curry Recipe | How To Make Punjabi Dhaba Style Egg Curry Recipe

Egg curry recipe with video: Egg Curry or Anda Curry is a spicy curry made with boiled eggs mostly cooked in onion gravy. One of the most favorite dishes for an eggetarian. I also posted dhaba style aloo gobi earlier and this is my second one in this series. This dhaba style egg curry is best enjoyed with chapati, rumali roti and rice. I learned this egg curry recipe from my father-in-law and simply loved it. He loves to cook and makes many great dishes, I also learnt amazing baingan/ eggplant sabzi from him.

In India, dhaba is a roadside eating place situated on highways. They serve simply amazing delicious food with a ethentic décor. The food served in dhaba changes from place to place and region to region. Each dhaba makes different dishes depending on the availability of the raw material in that region. But whatever the region is wherever the dhaba is, the food is flavorful, super delicious and with a touch of simplicity and honesty. I still remember my road trips with my family when we used to stop at dhabas for meal breaks, an experience I still remember. This dhaba style egg curry recipe is almost same as what I used to eat in my childhood.

Talking about today’s recipe- egg curry dhaba style is very different from what we get in restaurants. It holds much more flavor and spices and of course little more oil 😉 . There are many ways of making egg curry. Sometimes it is made in onion tomato gravy with or without cream, sometimes only with tomato gravy and sometime with coconut and red chilly gravy. This dhaba style egg curry is different from these as we are making it only with onion, ginger and garlic that gives it very earthy taste. Also we are going to shallow fry the boiled and peeled eggs which will give nice crust to the eggs. I have also added degi mirch or kasmiri lal mirch powder to give it a nice dhaba style red color but it is optional you can skip it if you don’t like it.
