South African Curry Eggs

When a recipe from South Africa calls for curry, it expresses the early Malay influence in South African cooking. We could call these Malay eggs.

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 1/2 teaspoons hot curry powder
• 2 tablespoons cake flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Freshly milled black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon brown vinegar
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups water
• 6 hard boiled eggs, shelled and halved

METHOD

Heat butter in a saucepan and sauté onions gently until just browned. Remove from heat.

In a small bowl, mix curry powder, flour, salt, pepper and sugar into the vinegar.

Incorporate curry mixture into onions and stir, slowly adding the water. Simmer continuously for 10-15 minutes.

Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

Arrange halved eggs on a warm dish, and gently spoon on the curry sauce.

Serve with boiled and steamed white rice.
