Memories of boiled egg curry

Boiled egg curry always reminds me of my mother and her special cooking. It helps me reminisce my childhood days when on special occasions, as this very dish would be a highlight concocted by mum. To top it off, I personally love eggs and to pop them into a curry is almost a MasterChef move from my perspective.

Here's a special recipe to work on at home for those who are a big fan of this daily staple food.
