Pakistani Egg Curry
Recipe

We’ve got another home cooking treat from the subcontinent for you. This recipe comes courtesy of Babur’s social media director, Asad Shaykh, who says:
“This ‘Curried Eggs’ recipe has been our Pakistani Punjabi family secret for decades. Although it is best for brunch occasions, it has helped the men-who-can’t-cook in the family out of many dinnertime emergencies too.”
