Scrambled Egg and Potato Curry

Scrambled egg and potato curry is a curry made with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and a blend of spices that give it a unique taste.

What’s great about this dish is that it’s versatile and can be enjoyed any time of the day—whether for lunch or dinner.

This curry goes perfectly with rice, and I also love making another egg curry dish at home—boiled egg potato curry. It’s another equally delicious variation of this recipe.

Either way, you’ll have a great side dish to enjoy with your rice.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this curry:

INGREDIENTS SCRAMBLED EGG POTATO CURRY

Spices: Turmeric powder, red chili powder (kashmiri powder), coriander powder, and cumin powder.

Eggs: The other main ingredient is eggs.

Oil: Olive oil or any vegetable oil.

Onions, tomatoes and cilantro: Finely chopped white onion and roma tomatoes.
