Eggs in tamarind sauce

I love eggs in any dish. I have a book named “Egg recipes” by Mrs S. Malika Badrinath. It is a treasure of egg recipes. I tried many recipes from this book and loved them all. The name of this dish is given as “Andhra egg curry”. I am not sure if it is an authentic Andhra recipe or something prepared on the similar lines of any other Andhra curries. So I chose to ignore that name .

This curry had an amazing taste. Even while cooking it, the aroma was too good. The entire house was filled with the aroma.
