Having regular egg curry is quite boring. So lets make something different. It is completely different from regular egg curry and it tastes yummmmm with traditional bashonti pulao or naan....

Then add dry masalas like coriander powder, garam masala powder, salt, 1 tsp sugar and give it mix. Fry for 1 more min. Then add cashew paste to it. Mix everything well and fry the masalas until oil starts releasing. Keep the flame low.
