Egg Masala (dry)

Eggs serve as an excellent option to make quick recipes. Since this recipe only involves tomatoes, which are to be made into a paste after frying, the preparation time and effort is really less. But trust me, the tangy spicy tomato based recipe will definitely be an instant hit. Also since its fairly dry, it serves as a good lunch box option along with bread or chapati.
