Masala Frittata

Jump to Recipe

This is David's own recipe for a masala frittata...and it's yum!   We've seen several recipes for masala scrambled eggs and we were fancying something different for brunch at the weekend and had some baby potatoes so decided a frittata would be a good way to use some of them up.

We hope you give this recipe for masala frittata a try and enjoy it as much as we did...you get the distinct flavour of curry along with lovely pops of flavour from the tomatoes and personally, I LOVE curried potatoes!!
