FRESH MASALA EGG GRAVY

Whenever I eat egg first thing I say is how the plain taste of egg is so unique and very yummy.Have you ever felt the taste of egg while eating ? the taste is so mild that we cannot categorize the taste of egg to spicy or salty or sweet . It looks like it has plain taste but it is very unique.

My daughter loves egg so much that she cant stop by eating one egg she always cries for two eggs!

We use to prepare this egg masala to accompany with any dish , right from fried rice to idli , dosa or any maindish.So this is a multipurpose sidedish that will go great with anything.
