Sri Lankan Egg Curry

Sri Lankan egg curry. A spicy aromatic and lipsmackingly delicious curry from Sri Lankan cuisine. If you’re bored of your regular egg curry then try this egg curry with a completely different taste and flavour.

Coconut milk and spices made this curry superbly delicious. I always love to use aromatic spices. And this curry is absolutely flavorful and mouthwatering. Usually Srilankan curry powder, fish flakes and pandarus leaves are used in this curry. But I don’t have these ingredients. So I used all the spices of Sri lankan curry powder separately. And skipped pandarus leaves and fish flakes. Believe me taste is too good.

Earlier shared some more egg curry recipes on this blog.

. Dim kosha or spicy egg curry

. Eggs in green curry

. Dim posto or eggs in poppy seeds gravy

. Kerala egg roast with potato

. Egg korma

. Eggs in mustard gravy

. Egg with yogurt sauce

. Spicy egg or masala egg

. Piperade with Indian spices

And you may also like to try South Indian turnip curry from Priya Iyer. I am going to try it soon.

I don’t like my curry too hot. But if you like the curry more spicy and hot then you can use 1-2 chopped green chilli. I have used whole dry red chilli for tempering. To make the curry more spicy break or chop the red chilli into 2-3 pieces. Don’t skip the powdered spices. These spices will make your curry flavorful and delicious.

    Sri Lankan Egg Curry looks so perfectly made and delicious. I’m sure the various spice powders – fennel, cumin, mace, coriander, etc – must have added so much of flavour to this dish. Beautifully presented dish.
