Egg Curry with Moringa

An Indian silver bowl with Indian Egg Moringa Sticks Curry - made with spices, curry powder, curry leaves, tomatoes, yogurt, oil and salt.
Eggs are a staple in many kitchens. Versatile, affordable, and packed with nutrients. They provide high-quality protein with all essential amino acids, vitamins (B12, B2, A, D, and choline), and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health. While moderation is recommended, eggs remain a go-to ingredient for quick and nutritious meals (CUMIN RICE: RICE-COOKER STYLE).

Moringa sticks, also known as drumsticks, were once considered humble “poor man’s food” but are now recognized as a superfood, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Only the inner seeds and flesh are edible, while the tough outer skin is discarded.

Cooked together with eggs and aromatic Indian spices, this curry becomes a nutrient-packed, flavorful dish. With a creamy texture from yogurt (CUCUMBER YOGURT SALAD) and a vibrant, spicy taste, Egg Curry with Moringa is both nourishing and delicious, an ideal example of traditional ingredients elevated for modern wellness.
