EGG DROP CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK

Egg drop curry made with coconut milk is a simple preparation for the days you want to fix a quick lunch or dinner. It is a good change from the usual curry made with boiled eggs.  This way the eggs absorb the spice flavours while simmering and really taste very delicious. This curry can be served with rotis or rice and you can adjust the gravy accordingly.
