A light curry bursting with colour and vegetables.  Quick and easy, it makes such a great family meal.

If you are following me on Instagram you might recall the gorgeous curry a friend made on our last camping week end. I got to crave egg curry over the next week and decided to make my own.

My first trial was a Spinach Egg Curry but my son insisted I added cauliflower. I was happy to oblige as quite frankly it is hard to argue with kids when they want to eat cauliflower 🙂

Serve this curry with brown rice, chutney and naan.

You can leave the eggs out to make it vegan. Also if you prefer mild dishes, this recipe is perfectly delicious without the chilli.

    This curry is mindblowing. A huge hit with me & friends. I like to add a little less broth, 200ml or so.

    Thank you!
