Egg Curry in coconut milk and spinach sauce
Radhika
October 6, 2021
This simple curry is easier to make than meat curries, but still has plenty of protein. The coconut milk gives the dish rich flavour and enhances the spices.
If you do not like coconut milk you can absolutely skip that ingredient. You can enjoy this curry as egg masala too.
