Malabar Egg Curry is a delicious egg masala , where hard boiled eggs are added into onion tomato based gravy seasoned in coconut oil with lots of curry leaves and mustard seeds. It's then simmered and cooked in coconut milk to get a rich flavorful taste. This curry has a sweetish tone from coconut milk that is balanced with hint of heat from spices.
