EGG GRAVY/KODIGUDDU PULUSU

(TELANGANA STYLE) 

Kodiguddu pulusu/egg gravy is a very popular dish in telangana,which is cooked in tamarind sauce.As I am a non vegiterian I would like to include egg in many of my recipies.

Studies show that having 2 eggs for breakfast completes one's protein need for that day. Either it is boiled or  made an omlette, eggs are very healthy and are loaded with proteins and minerals.
