Egg is not only nutritious but also very tasty and loved by everyone. It is also a very cheap food item. It is found all over the world. Hence there are numerous recipes using eggs. Eggs contribute cholesterol and therefore you should take it only in moderation.
Today I am going to prepare a spicy curry with hard boiled eggs.
