In India we make egg curries in different ways and call them by different names. Egg curry is quite popular among non-vegetarians and eggitarians. This is a type of egg curry where egg is cooked with potato and the gravy is thick, a little spicy. This is a very simple recipe. (Egg is considered non-veg in India.)
