This is a great side dish, snack, starter or whenwever you would like to serve these eggs. The hardboiled and fried eggs alone are great. But in combination with the sauce they are wonderful. I like the maggi seasoning used here very much and I would not left it out, because it will add some delicate salty flavors. The sour tamarind pulp is the needed counterpart and the red chilies add exact the required pepperines. Serve it with rice - I used Jasmin Rice - and you have a tasty dish. The only thing I am wondering about is, why are the called son-in-law-eggs. Greta. Thanks for sharing.

I live in a little house with my husband and my three "puppies" (all dogs are puppies to me, no matter how old they are). We have no children as of yet. I love to cook, but not to clean, and I won't cook unless my kitchen is clean, so I don't cook as much as I should. Some of my other hobbies are: role playing games, reading, SCA, garage saleing, and sewing. I am a pack rat, but I am trying to cut back on that, and I have far too many kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.(If there is such a thing.)
