Egg Vindaloo
This is my first egg recipe on the blog!!Ya i noticed that when i was going through my categories!Eggs are those option for me when i’m totally blank about “what to cook for dinner”!I ‘m damn sure this is a problem all of us are facing!hehe!There is no time in cooking once we got the menu,isn’t it?
Egg vindalu is something different from our Kerala style egg roast.There is a spice mix adding in it,that makes the dish delicious.Here we all love egg curries,even if Kashif don’t prefer eating the plain hard boiled eggs he love eggs in curries. But mostly i used to make normal egg curry or roast.I mean that’s a life saver for me at times.
