Curried Eggs; or The Headache That Wouldn't Die
.

Non-stop headache, so my sweet husband made dinner. Hooray for that.
From a cookbook we don't use nearly often enough, The Cook's Encyclopedia of Vegetarian Cooking, Curried Eggs.
Hard boiled eggs on a surprisingly sour curry; onion, ginger, cumin, garam masala, tomato paste, tandoori paste, cream and S&P.
Despite the bitterness, when eaten with the eggs, it really worked! A bit spicy, but the hard boiled egg tempered the heat.
Served with Rice with Spices and Seeds, and (horrors!) a store-bought dish; Kitchens of India's Black Gram Lentils Curry; it was like an actual meal!
I have to say...I loved the Black Curry. It was smooth, creamy...and tasted strangely like Dinte More! Really, really good. And totally vegetarian. It was inexpensive, and I think it'd even work as a flavoring for soup (how they got that amazing beef-like flavor, I may never know).
So, I'll be heading to bed soon, OD-ing on Aleve, and hoping I wake up not wanting a lobotomy.

Hi golliwog, and welcome!
This was my first time with curried eggs, but I'm willing to try more. Yum.
Oh, and I adore the BBC Pride and Prejudice, too! May be the best version. Ever.
Hi Courtney!
Ooh...Naughty Curry? I'm intrigued...
I'd have been a bit worried about the fennel, as well; not a spice I regularly reach for!
Glad it worked for you.
And neat, isn't it, how the eggs work so well with the curry?
