Punjabi Egg Masala

This is a north Indian Egg gravy cooked with onions, tomato puree and lots of spice ingredients. The rich flavour of spice ingredients makes this dish more delicious. I have used kitchen king masala as a key ingredient to prepare this gravy. But if it is not available, you can add garam masala powder as a substitute.

This gravy goes well with steamed rice, all kinds of Indian breads and jeera rice. Also you may like other egg related dishes posted in this blog such as Masala Eggs, Egg Shahi Kurma, EggMasala Fry, Egg Omelette, Egg Biriyani, Egg Bonda or Pakora and Egg Roll.
