I’m thinking of making an elaborate vegetarian lunch on this rainy Sunday. I have a new, tasty, and resourceful recipe for Malai Sandwich Curry that I think might steal the show. It’s a serious contender for the best recipe to cook on a weekend. This dish can also be called Vegetarian Egg Curry, even though it doesn’t contain any eggs. The well-crafted dumplings made of potatoes and paneer give it an appearance similar to eggs. I bet you could pass it off as Egg Curry based on its looks.
