Burmese Golden Egg Curry

Burmese Golden Egg Curry

It is extremely easy to make and yet very delicious in taste from Burma. Reading the history of this curry... as in earlier days many Indians visited Rangoon. This curry has come up due to the Indian influence in Burma. A cross country dish. The key ingredient giving a Burmese touch to the curry is the  Ngapi paste made out of fermented fish. But since this is not commonly available, fish sauce is commonly available. So the fish sauce is used here.  A must try recipe.
