EGG IN ROASTED COCONUT GRAVY - EGG RECIPES / EGG GRAVY

Egg in roasted coconut gravy is a very flavorful curry recipe that pairs great as a side dish with chappathi, ghee rice, pancakes and like so. Egg is considered as one of the versatile ingredient which can be turned into delicious dishes within minutes. I prefer egg gravy than egg roast or egg masala because of its easiness. Roasted coconut with other spices gives an exotic flavor to this egg gravy.
