The curried pickled eggs recipe is a neatly-wrapped little package of two dishes in one. You can enjoy a hardboiled egg’s soft, creamy texture or open it up and use the egg as a dumpling filling or an hors d’oeuvre.
This recipe is one you’re likely to find at a potluck or picnic, which is the way my family ate it. This is a great way to use up leftover Easter eggs.
How to make a Curried pickled eggs recipe?
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4 peoples
Ingredients:
- 4 medium free-range eggs
- 300ml of distilled vinegar
- 150ml of water
- 80g of sugar
- 2 tbsp of mild curry powder

- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- 3 thin slices of fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
Instructions:
1. Hard boil your eggs. Fill a large saucepan with water, add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Add the eggs and cook for 10 minutes. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool in cold water. Once cool, peel them and set them aside.
2. Place a small saucepan over medium heat, add the water, sugar, and curry powder and stir until dissolved. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and leave to cool completely
3. Add the vinegar, water, and sugar to a large saucepan. Add the bay leaves, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add the remaining ingredients and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Stir in the hardboiled eggs until well-mixed. Remove from heat, cover, and leave for 2 hours in a cool place. Remove from heat and pack into jars with lids or rings (lest you want them as an hors d’oeuvre).
5. Store in a cool, dry place in the refrigerator.
6. Serve with crackers, bread, or toasted bread.
7. Serve with mashed potato or a salad of spring greens, chickpeas, and carrots with a dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, and a dash of vinegar and salt.
