Egg Molee
A molee is an Indian-style dish that incorporates a number of delicious spices. Fish and chicken varieties are particularly popular. This egg version has been shared with us by Sophia Handschuh, the Thermomix Baking Blogger. It is a perfect way to use up leftover eggs, and it is a great recipe to 'set and forget'!
