Zanzibar Curry Powder

Some of my favourite recipes come from Chris and Carolyn Caldicott whose books combine informative travelogue and evocative photography with (mostly) vegetarian recipes discovered on their trips. I’m starting with their recipes from Zanzibar, a destination i hope to visit next year if circumstances permit! These are from ” The Spice Routes” published in 2001. I’m starting with a local curry powder which you will need for Zanzibar Egg Curry and which can also be used for vegetable dishes.

Bombay Eggs (4)

I love eggs with tomatoes and many countries have recipes for them that would be traditionally served at breakfast time with bread such as the middle eastern Shakshuka and Mexican Huevos Rancheros. While i sometimes have them for brunch i like to serve them as a supper dish with some oven roasted chips.

This version is an old Parsi recipe from ” Made in India” by Meera Sodha.
