    Boiled eggs 

    Hard-boiled eggs are a high-quality source of lean protein. They'll fill you up without consuming too many calories, which is beneficial if you're trying to lose weight.

    Onion

    Onions are considered a basic ingredient or the foundation of Indian cooking and are used to make any gravy, curry, or bhuna dish. The flavour and aroma of onion transforms any ordinary dish into a mouthwatering and delectable one.

    Green Chilli  

    The green chillies in cooked or raw form give a fiery hot flavor. To reduce the fiery hot flavor the seeds and inner membranes could be removed which is effective at reducing the heat of the pod.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who invented egg curry?

    The humble Awadhi kitchen gave birth to the Egg curry. According to Alan Davidson, a 20th-century food historian, it was invented experimentally by a cook who encased a hard-boiled egg in mutton mince and deep-fried it.

    Is egg curry good for health?

    Egg curry is a highly nutritious food, especially for children, because it is high in proteins, calcium, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, all of which are essential for healthy growth. Furthermore, eggs are the only natural source of Vitamin D, which is required for calcium absorption and bone development.
