28 Reviews of Curried Poached Eggs

These eggs are fantastic! I didn't have coriander but used the rest of the spices and it turned out great. The spice amount was perfect - just enough to season but not overpower the egg taste. I only made two eggs, but didn't halve the water or spices, and that's how I'd recommend making them. I cooked them for 5 minutes on the nose and they turned out just the way I like them - a nice soft center but not runny. I'm always on the lookout for easy breakfast recipes (and I always forget about poached eggs!!), and this one goes to the top of the list. I'll be making them this weekend for my husband, and I only hope he loves them as much as I do!

    What a wonderful idea. At first I thought hmm curry for breakfast??? I don't know! And I am not a great fan of poached eggs at the best of times nor is my son. However, these eggs are very nice and look pretty to boot. I had yellow coloured eggs sitting on toast with sprigs of fresh coriander as a garnish. Very little effort for an inviting presentation that tasted great. Poached eggs will now be on our breakfast menu. By the way, Dear Son got breakfast in bed so he said "Thank You Dorothy" cause it's the first time he has had brekkie in bed since he was a wee boy.

    This was so tasty!! I also steamed some spinach and served them with onion bagels. Perhaps the only way I will ever eat poached eggs again!

    Refreshing was the first thing that came to my mind. This wasnt too spicy, it just put a nice wonderful flavour in the eggs. Never tasted anything like it. I didnt butter my toast either since I was out of it but it wasnt necessary. I will deffinitely be making the a regular meal.

    Derf, I have been trying to eat a bit healthier and have been looking through your recipes. Found this little gem today and boy, am I glad I did! Halfed it to 1 serving and the spices amt was dead on! My 2 yr old and I loved this. Also, this was my 1st time poaching eggs and your instructions were great! Thanks again!

    SO GOOD! But, the eggs were not done at all after 3 minutes, cook longer

    delicious!!!! simple,nice presentation, quick, pretty healthy. I didn't have turmeric, but it is usually used for color more than for flavor. My DH and I enjoyed our eggs on toasted english muffins- his buttered, mine with Mayo. Thanks for this great idea!
