Steps In Making
Fried Eggs
- Heat oil in a pan.

Recipe Notes
- You can directly add boiled eggs in the curry, if you don’t like to fry them.
- Whenever adding curd, make sure its at room temperature and beaten. If you add cold curd it might curdle.
- Its very important to cook the onion and tomato masala properly for better taste and flavour.
