Egg Curry with Rosemary and Parsley

Other than fish dishes, what is the next non-veg item that features more frequently in Bengali Household? Yes, the ever famous 'Dim er jhol' or Egg Curry. We, bengalis just love it !! And when it is cooked with potatoes, green peas and garam masala, it becomes 'Dim er Dalna'. Now again, there is huge difference in flavor when you are using Duck Egg instead of Chicken Egg. 'Ha(n)s er Dim er dalna' or Duck Egg Curry is a delicacy in Bengal and it is a feast for us when I cook it. Now here is a twist to my usual Duck Egg Curry. While cooking, I have added some dried Rosemary and Parsley and these herbs gave a completely different dimension to our popular Egg Curry.

 Fry little and then add the eggs and stir well to fry well.
