"Potluck" is this week's theme at I Heart Cooking Clubs (IHCC), where we are cooking from Madhur Jaffrey's recipes. I made Hard Boiled Eggs Masala last week to eat with the Naan Bread from my previous MJ's post.
This Eggs Masala is very easy to make. A very nice dish, even though I find it a little sour. Next time I am going to omit the lemon juice altogether. As usual, I have increased the spices and since it was only for my hubby and myself, I have added more chilli powder for added kick.
And of course, lots of chopped cilantro for me!
