Afghani Egg or Anda Curry or Khorma is a popular dish made in Afghanistan with boiled Eggs, Fresh Cream, Curd and a few selected basic spices along with Onions, Garlic, Green Chillies, Ginger, Cashewnuts and lots of fresh Coriander Leaves. In this beautiful looking dish, use of Red Chilli powder is minimal. Instead use of Black Pepper is predominant along with fresh Green Chillies.

A super delicious and a refreshingly flavourful dish that's bursting with umpteen flavours and makes an excellent side to many a delightful meals. It goes perfectly well with any Bread of one's own choice. However any simple Pulao or a traditional Rice dish would also go along very well with this gravy. Fresh Cream, Garam Masala and a hint of Kasuri Methi sums it up so very beautifully in the end. You would definitely want to give it a try. It's creamy, luscious, rich and abundantly blessed with lots of natural flavours that come from the fresh ingredients used in it's making. Do check this one out for sure.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
