Cooking tips 💡
- Adding plenty of salt when boiling eggs not only makes them easier to peel but also lightly seasons the egg white.
- Drying the eggs thoroughly ensures the curry sauce adheres well and doesn't slide off.
- For extra richness, cut the soft-boiled eggs in half so the yolks melt into the curry sauce, then mix with the rice.
