Note:

• Homemade curry powder can be replaced with (not exact replacement)        Coriander powder – 1/2tsp                                                                                                          Chilli powder – 1/2tsp                                                                                                                   Jeera powder -1/4tsp                                                                                                                   Black pepper powder – 1/4 tsp                                                                                                   This combination will also taste good but has slightly different taste (but this egg masala with homemade curry powder tastes best).
• Chopped ginger and chopped garlic enhances the flavour when compared to ginger garlic paste.
