Koni Dom (Traditional Assamese Egg Curry)
This is poor man’s fare in India, but is comfort food. It is one of the easiest things to put together, and while it does take a little time to cook, is well worth the wait. Egg Curry (or “Koni Dom” as it is known in Assam) is best served piping hot on a wet day. For the best experience, I suggest using duck eggs. Their richness completes a well made Egg Curry in a manner that has to be experienced to be truly appreciated.
