I adapted this recipe from a FB food group posted by one of my friend Sandhya Nayak Kamath.I have tried this dish several times and since the taste is awesome I thought of sharing it here today.The original name of the dish was egg butter masala but since Cashewnut paste is added and it enhances the taste I renamed it as Egg kaju masala.Kaju means Cashewnuts.This dish goes well with roti or rice.I had some leftover Egg fried rice to accompany this dish, so it was totally an eggy day today at our place.
