Lovers of authentic Indian cuisine will know that curries can take some time to prepare – well, with Gizzi Erskine’s Keralan egg curry you can enjoy an authentic dish that embodies classic flavours that takes less time than you think!

Gizzi says: The boiled eggs in this recipe need to be cooked for six minutes, to give them that firm white and slightly soft yolk. Serve them in halves on top of the curry or cut them into smaller pieces and mix into the dish."
