Very good and very easy! I made this to stretch out our India House leftovers. We ate 3 of the eggs and hubs will take the remainder to work for breakfast tomorrow on toast. This makes a LOT of sauce even though I reduced the milk to 2 cups and it was thick but not gloppy. I used 2 teaspoons of red curry powder and next time I will increase it to 3. I added about a 1/3 teaspoon salt, it didn't need any pepper for us.

This was really nice, easy and the sauce came out very smooth! My only suggestion would be to up the curry powder for those of you who really like curry. Thanks for posting!

VERY tasty & very easy! It would make a lovely brunch dish. I cut it down to 2 just for myself & had plenty of sauce for more eggs. I'll bet this would go great over toast... Made for the 6/08 Aussie recipe Swap. Thank you, Tisme!
