Curry Scrambled Eggs

Posted on June 23, 2008February 3, 2017 by emiglia

I recently discovered a jar of pre-made curry paste in the back of my cupboard, you know, that kind that “makes delicious, homestyle Indian dishes a snap,” or something, which was left for me by the thoughtful people who rented my apartment before me. While I was slightly skeeved at the idea of using other people’s food, I also was running low on cash before I left Paris and therefore could not be choosy.

All I could afford before I left were eggs and potatoes, basically. Oh, and yogurt. Because I can’t live without my yogurt. So I rummaged through my cupboard and fridge and found a few things to toss in to make myself a healthy and delicious (my god, I feel like Rachael Ray) breakfast/lunch/dinner. (Yes… I kept making it until I left.)

The curry paste I had was just called Red Curry Paste, I think. It had lemon and black pepper and red lentils, and it was quite tasty. I’m sure that substituting whatever curry paste you have on hand wouldn’t compromise the *ahem* integrity of this dish whatsoever.

Oh, how I love when I’m thrifty and a genius at the same time. And to top it all off, I’m modest too!

Curry Scrambled Eggs

1 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. curry paste
2 eggs
1/2 125 g. pot of plain yogurt
½ cup thawed frozen spinach, heated

Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the curry paste and stir until cooked through, about a minute. Crack the eggs into the skillet and continue to stir until the eggs form curds, about five minutes. Stir in the yogurt and spinach. Serve. Repeatedly, if you are me.

    “I was low in cash in Paris”… I know the feeling! Hahaha
    Your curry scrambled eggs is four-stars compared to what I was eating when I was broke in Paris. It looks good! 🙂

    Zen- Thanks! I always feel broke in Paris… but that’s no reason to eat Special K Fruits Rouges every meal, even if I sometimes want to.
