Food writer Shu Han Lee shares her recipe for a fragrant and creamy Tamil egg curry. Serve over steamed rice for a hearty and healthy midweek dinner.
Shu says: “There are many versions of egg curry; this I learnt from a Singaporean Indian friend, who learnt and adapted it from her mum. The fennel seeds give an aniseed fragrance that’s common to many Tamil curries; tomatoes and tamarind lend a sweet-sour tang, while coconut milk (a tiny drizzle) adds a touch of creaminess. While runny yolks are trendy, this calls for set yolks to soak up that delicious curry sauce.”
Recipe take from Shu’s second book, Agak Agak (Hardie Grant £26), and tested by delicious.

Shu’s tip: “Very fresh eggs are hard to peel. I like using slightly older eggs.”
