Vegetarian egg kofta curry
Also called: Vegetarian egg kofta curry, Veg egg kofta, vegetarian egg kofta, veg egg kofta curry, veg-egg kofta masala, veg egg koftaa, soy egg kofta, mock egg kofta, vegetarian anda kofta
Vegetarian egg kofta curry is that rich, restaurant-style curry you’ll spot on a thali order, family lunch, or a special Sunday meal. Soft koftas made with potato, paneer, bread and curd are simmered in a spicy tomato-onion gravy, giving it that proper dhaba-style comfort with a fancy twist. It tastes familiar, creamy, and a little indulgent — the kind of dish people order when they want something special without actual eggs.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This curry is not very gut-light because most of the weight comes from fat and refined ingredients, not fiber. The tomato, onion, ginger, garlic and haldi do bring some digestion-friendly compounds, and the curd adds a small probiotic touch, but the overall fiber is only 1.1g per bowl, so it won’t keep your tummy full for long. The 117.6g fat per serving is very high, which can make it feel heavy after a meal, especially with extra naan or rice. A practical tip: pair it with a simple kachumber or lightly sautéed veg, so the meal feels less oily on the stomach and gets a little more fiber alongside it.
Frequently Asked Questions

It’s more of an indulgent curry than an everyday healthy dish. One 175g bowl has about 1098 kcal and 117.6g fat, so it’s very rich and heavy. If you’re having it, keep the rest of the meal light.
How many calories are in 1 bowl of veg egg kofta curry?
One bowl of 175g has about 1098 calories. That’s quite high for a single serving, mostly because of the fat content. It’s best treated like a special-occasion dish.
Can diabetics eat vegetarian egg kofta curry?
The carbs are fairly low at 7.5g per bowl, so sugar spikes from the curry itself may be limited. But the very high fat and low fiber can still make it a heavy meal, especially if eaten with naan, rice, or sweets. Portion size matters a lot here.
