Khada Masala Egg Curry/ Egg Curry in whole spice gravy

Sometime back my friend asked me to post some recipe as she is new to cooking eggs. Ever since i have been thinking of posting something for her to try. Then few days back a friend came over at a weekend evening and i cooked up this egg curry. i remember a very simple version of my moms egg curry and used it as an inspiration for this slightly fancy version. I have used some whole spices in the recipe but this curry can be prepared without them too and i'm sure will be equally tasty.
