Zanzibar Egg Curry (4-6)

I am always looking for new versions of Egg Curry . This one is from ” The Spice Routes” by Chris and Carolyn Caldicott .

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.

Asparagus and Cashew Stir Fry (2)

The first of the english grown Asparagus is now starting to appear in the shops and I am always looking for new ways to cook it. This is a super quick supper from Anna Jones that you can serve with rice or noodles. Make sure everything is prepared before you start frying.

You can replace the asparagus with some purple sprouting broccoli for a variation.

Eggs cooked with Potatoes (2-4)

Another favourite recipe from Madhur Jaffrey’s ” Indian Cookery”.

Mussels, Goan style (2-4)

One of the first Indian cookbooks i brought was Madhur Jaffrey’s ” Indian Cookery”, published in 1982 to accompany her TV series of the same name . The paperback cost £4.25 which retrospectively seems quite pricey, but as i spent much of the next few years cooking from it regularly it was no doubt worth it. So a few recipes to follow from my old , stained and well thumbed copy.

These mussels can be served with rice, chips or on their own.

Golden Egg Curry (4)

A recipe from Nigella Lawson’s ” At My Table”. Most recipes for egg curry use hard boiled eggs, but in this version from Malaysia the eggs are poached in the sauce .
