Egg Korma


          I am an egg lover. So for all the other egg lovers out there, here is a super yummy Egg korma recipe - my style. Enjoy it with any form of rice like jeera rice, pulao, plain biryani or just steamed rice. You can also pair it with Indian breads like naan, tandoori roti, roomali roti, paratha or plain chapati. Choice is yours. 

          Whatever way you relish you will simply love this mouth watering delicacy. This side dish is simmered in a tomato-cashew nut based creamy gravy. So go ahead and dish out this egg korma and surprise your loved ones.
