South African Curried Eggs

MarraMamba's Note:

I really love curried eggs when i want something yummy but easy on a hot night (spicy foods go well with steamy days). It saves cooking meat, boiling eggs can be done in the morning before the rest of the day happens

Seriously good eggs! They were so different, but in a very good way. I was definitely skeptical about this recipe, but it came together beautifully. All of the ingredients seemed made for each other in the end. Thanks for the great recipe!

I reduced this to only make 2 eggs to serve as a side. I was expecting more of a curried style deviled egg, but that isn't what this recipe is at all. This was the first time to try something like this & we thought it was interesting. It definitly is full of flavor and has lots going on flavorwise. I served with baked chicken made with Nairobi Meat Rub, a simple baked potato, and Onion and Tomato Salad (Salata Bonjon-E-Rhumi-E-Piaz). Made for ZWT4.

These eggs are GOOD! I didn't have cake flour and substituted unbleached all-purpose flour. I also used Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Curry Powder - South African Spice Mixture for the curry powder. This ones a keeper. Make for ZWT4
