Loved this - 1/2 the recipe - tweaked it a bit. Made scrambled eggs with the 4 eggs (don't like my eggs looking at me!) and put on a bed of cooked rice instead of toast. But the sauce and the basic idea was all Bergy's. We loved this as a quick dinner that incorporated curry, eggs and spinach - so healthy, so good.Reply

We loved this! Easy to make and delicious - just as the recipe is, but we plan to make the sauce and pour it over other things, a fillet of steamed fish, browned unde the grill? or My Husband plans to pour it over potato wedges as a snack. I had planned to serve this on a bed of spinach, but it was raining heavily when I set off to fetch some from the garden - so maybe next time!Reply
