  1. Siri, I made this curry for my family last night and it was a huge hit. The kids loved it as well as TVN. And I was so happy because I knew they were eating something very nutricious. I have made egg curry numerous times, but never have added vegetables. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I am looking forward to trying more of the recipes on this site.
