Egg Curry with coconut milk
So here is my quick and easy peasy take on Thai curry that can be made with in 30 minutes. This Egg curry is a lovely amalgam of sour and sweet flavours. Sourness comes from the lemon grass, lime juice and sweetness form the jaggery that I have added to the curry. This egg curry has minimal of spices yet it is so flavourful and delicious. I have also added veggies like beans and potatoes to the curry to make it a wholesome meal.
The fragrant paste I made for this curry consist of Thai red chillies, lemongrass, ginger and garlic and lime juice. That’s it!! I used Kaffir lime leaves later in the curry which added über fragrance to dish.
