Kolhapuri Egg curry

I had prepared this curry last year and the pictures were lying in the folder as usual . Kolhapur is a place in Maharashtra and this dish must be a popular dish out there . I had posted Kolhapuri chicken sometime back . I was inspired to prepare this dish from my f.b friend Sandhya Kamath  . This curry goes well with rice .
