pepper egg masala
Long back when i was staying at a hostel, we were served an egg curry every thurdays for dinner. On the whole the food served there was horrible but i would wait for thursdays because the egg curry (only that) was really very tasty. Soon after that i got married and i totally forgot about that curry. But after 5 years , last week when i had been to a friend's place (who is from mangalore) for dinner, she had made the same egg curry which made me nostalgic. i asked her for the recipe and i found out it was really easy to make. and my husband enjoyed eating it as its very very spicy. so thought of sharing it with all of you :)
