Egg Curry (Anda Curry)

There is something amazing that happens when you mix a spicy tomato gravy with a simple boiled egg. The yolk adds a creamy texture and a silkiness to the dish that is just delicious.

My relationship with eggs is weird because I love egg whites and anything with egg in which the yolk is blended in so that I can’t really taste it.

I won’t eat most things that taste eggy be it Chinese fried rice, egg custard or even an egg sandwich. There are two exceptions to my rule. I love eggs over medium, runny yolks and all (all my life egg yolks have freaked me out so much that I was 26 by the time I tasted a runny yolk!). The other dish in which I actually enjoy egg yolks is egg curry.
