GREEN GRAVY EGGS / EGGS IN SPINACH GRAVY / GREEN GRAVY ANDA MASALA/EGGS HARIYALI/ANDA SAAG


 Wonder if you ever heard about this – You might have heard about certain spinach gravies like Murg-saag [palak chicken], or Paneer-saag [cottage cheese in spinach - Palak Paneer], but EGGS in spinach gravy is  simply SUPERB .Not only tasty but healthy & rich in iron due to  palak.

I had seen this recipe a month ago in lajjatdar a marathi cookery show .Today being friday & our nonveg day was wondering what to cook.This recipe came to my mind as I had bunches of spinach lying in the fridge.This is a very simple ,fast and easy to cook dish. It goes well with chapathi, roti and naan & rice .
