Goan Egg Drop Curry Recipe
In Goa, we make different types of curries to have along with rice. So when fish is not available, we make the egg-drop curry. This curry is made from eggs which are cracked and dropped in the spicy curry which is made up of grated coconut, onion, coriander seeds, dry red chilies, turmeric powder and tamarind. Addition of tamarind adds tanginess to the curry. The Goan Egg Drop Curry is easy to cook and takes just 20 Minutes.
