Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan, then fry the onions over a low heat for 10 mins until golden. Add the curry paste and sizzle for 2 mins, stirring. Add the tomatoes and 200ml water, season to taste, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins until you have a rich sauce.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 8 mins, cool in cold water, then peel and halve. 3 Stir the peas and yogurt into the curry and simmer for another 2-3 mins. Put the eggs into the pan, spoon the curry sauce over and leave for another 2 mins to heat through. Serve with rice and mango chutney.

Make it low-fat

For a creamy, but lower-fat version of the curry, use fatfree Greek or natural yogurt instead of ordinary Greek yogurt, which is made with cream. Low-fat yogurt will split if boiled, so stir it through at the end.

    I blended the sauce before adding the eggs as I prefer a smooth sauce to a lumpy one and it turned out well, it was very tasty.

    Very nice curry. You don't have to use a Greek yogurt, a normal plain one is fine.

    Very tasty and easy to prepare. I replaced the yogurt by coconut cream and added tofu; my boyfriend loved it.

    I want to like this, I really do. But there's something a little bit odd about having the eggs in there.
