Egg Kurma

Egg Kurma is a delicious curry or sidedish which makes a great combo with roti or rice. It can be also served for breakfast with dosa or appams. It's a simple and flavourful curry. The best part of a kurma is the grinding of  coconut and fennel seeds together. This gives a special taste to this delicious curry. I am not sure if this is the authentic egg kurma recipe, but this is how I make and we love this dish. I also make Vegetable Kurma similar to this. The main difference is that vegetables are cooked in coconut milk and cashews are also ground with coconut for Vegetable Kurma. You can also add cashews and coconut milk in this recipe too for extra richness and taste. Hope you all will try this out.
