Great post just laughed my head off the site is better than reading the Saturday papers, not sure though if I ever seen an egg in Glasgow versions. PP

I can't believe you've never heard of curried eggs though...eggs work well in Indian food

Oh I never said I hadn't heard of eggs in curry! Eggs in some curries (hard boiled) are very nice. No, it was the egg in jalfrezi that got me, and scrambled too...give me strength.

ive had curried eggs before, very nice. but never in a curry.

i stick egg in a chicken chow mien i make though, very tasty and essential.

I don't recall ever having egg in a jalfrezi either!

Me neither

Aye but you're in Oz, CA they don't do BIR over there lol

I've never seen it or tried it but I'd give it a go. Must be a regional thing I guess.

Hmmm, quite right Domi, maybe yet another fairly recent thing then?...probably attributable to Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and Co.....

The only curries I've seen egg in (that aren't specifically an egg curry) are biriani and passanda.

Maybe it's just a West Yorkshire thing? It's certainly not a recent change because as long as I've been able to buy a jalfrezi here, they've contained a beaten egg stirred in at the end of cooking.....though Haldi says it's done in Nottingham too. It's actually quite delicious - I suppose it just sounds wrong if you're not accustomed to it....like goji berries LOL

I have never seen egg in a Jalfrezi. The only curry I've seen egg in is a Pasanda.

Personally I think eggs in curry is just plain wrong... although I'm sure its commonplace somewhere...
