Egg Kurma Recipe

Kurma or Korma is a popular Indian and Pakistani dish that involves cooking proteins or vegetables in a spicy paste that is made using yogurt or coconut.

The preparation of kurma can be traced back to the Mughal era in the 16th century. While traditionally kurma was made using yogurt, the recipe has evolved to include a variety of different preparations.

This recipe, for instance uses a ground coconut paste. As it uses whole eggs, it is a great source of protein for vegetarians who eat eggs. Have this kurma with a serving of plain rice or some hot naans!
