When you have a lot of eggs to go through, this dish comes to the rescue. Boil as many eggs as you want and set them aside. Then made the veggie curry. Roast all then veggies first. Then fry up some onions and garlic, add in spices and then mix in all the roasted veggies and eggs. A delicious egg curry with lots of veggies. Serve it with rice or a side of tortillas.
