Unday Mutter Curry (Eggs and Peas)

Submitted by Muzz Khan

"The best Egg & Pea curry I have ever had. My Mother has been making this dish since I was as young as I can remember. Out of all the dishes that my mother makes, I would choose this all the time. Its best served with roti's/chapatti's, but it tastes just as good with white bread that has been slightly toasted or hot pitta bread."
