      Never tried quail eggs. Must try now after eating your recipe. The process of making egg curry appears reasonably easy. Why is it called quail egg roast?

      I had seen these Quail eggs in the roadside small stalls in Kerala. The hard-boiled eggs were being dipped in batter (besan, I suppose) and deep fried. I had never seen such dotted eggs and inquired with the stall owner. He enlightened me with its nutrients.

      JK Rowlingโ€™s story tells us that even in unwanted circumstances you cannot afford to give up or quit. Only those who are adamant and stick around taste success.

      Yum! I was vegetarian before but my friend made Eggeterian by feeding me her delicious egg curry. From then I too started preparing Egg curry to eat along with rice and chapathi. Your recipe is different. Will definitely try this ๐Ÿ™‚
