  • Cooking time: 9 mins.
  • Serves: 2

IngredientsIngredients

  • 4 large British Lion eggs, hard-boiled
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3cm piece ginger, grated
  • 1-2 green chillies, finely chopped
  • ½ tablespoon tomato purée
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3/4 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 tomato, finely chopped
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 100g petite pois
  • 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped
  • Chapattis or rice to serve

Method

Remove the shell from the boiled eggs (Gizzi uses free range), halve & put aside. Blend the oil, onion, garlic, ginger, green chillies and spices together. Heat a wok and add the paste and fry for 3-4 minutes.

Add the tomato, coconut cream and peas and simmer for 5 minutes. For the last 2 minutes of cooking add the boiled eggs. Serve the egg curry hot, garnished with coriander leaves, with chapattis or rice.

I always look for the Lion on eggs to guarantee the highest standards of food safety.  All Lion eggs come from British hens vaccinated against salmonella and are date-stamped for freshness.
