ABOUT Steamed egg cake curry RECIPE

For egg lovers like me ‘Dimer Dhokar Dalna’ or ‘Steamed Egg Cake Curry’ is a pleasant variation to the much loved egg curry. The best part is you can make the steamed egg cakes before hand and cook the gravy just before serving! It is also a very tasty variation which you can serve when you have guests who are egg lovers.
