Wow curry is new to me by adding egg.We usually cook only with potatoes.
Egg stew looks yummy,love the presentation.
Maya … my keenness in awaiting your posts and reading them possibly explains this nitpicking habit of mine. Sorry about that, in advance!
Pepper powder features in your list of ingredients. But the method you outline ignores this spice.
However, it is the other way about with turmeric.
HINT: ask your kids to ‘proofread’ your recipes. They usually, are sharp about spotting such ‘adult shortcomings’ and less inhibited than us to point them out!
I don’t need to say it: every one of your recipes we tried has been wonderful. Thank you!
I am sorry for the late reply, dido. My in-laws were here for a short visit so I had been very busy. I have updated the recipe, thanks for pointing it out. Btw my kid is only 22 moths old, I guess i have to wait a couple of years for him to help me out 🙂 Thanks again for your comment.
Your graciousness in replying to a subscriber, is in itself commendable. Many thanks for that, Maya.
And no, given your situation, your being sorry is not at all called for! Much appreciate it, though.
This curry looks delicious!! I am going to try making it tonight!! Thanks for the recipe Maya!!
