tuftearsHere's a good experiment! You might recall I'm a fan of Curry House's "keema curry" which is a mix of ground beef with various vegetables, on rice and served with a soft-boiled egg or fried eggs on top. I decided to try making much the same, but this time with chicken thighs to make the recipe slightly healthier.
I mostly followed this recipe, with substitutions here and there. My initial taste-test suggested that it needed more salt, which I had left out, and that egg would cut the sharpness of the spices. Since I had eggbeaters on hand, which wouldn't make a satisfactory fried egg, I decided to try making it into a "tamago" -- a Japanese rolled-up egg.
This version was okay but not that great. However, I had heard that when you refrigerate or freeze curry, then heat it later, it tastes much better.
I think that's actually correct. Also using a real fried egg makes it much tastier as well. I've had this with a few modifications now, once on pan-fried noodles. That version was *delicious*. This version, on the same brown rice, just with the fried egg on top, is still rather tasty. Definitely will make this again and try to refine the recipe!
Also the curry is pretty hot, even though I was simply using Trader Joe's curry powder rather than a fancy garam masala. Be careful. :)
