I gave it a go. I preferred it to my original one, but Jenny thought mine edged it. The extra onions definitely add some extra sweetness which I liked. I also tried coconut cream instead of coconut milk. This was slightly more tomato-y than the original. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lh/photo/p-_rcx3aYG2E0aPtMSmhfw?feat=embedwebsite" title="Camellia Punjabi's Egg Curry" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_EnQlESo411U/Sfgho4SaVMI/AAAAAAAAEnU/5U5TjPOfhoE/s400/DSC_0049.JPG" alt="Camellia Punjabi's Egg Curry" style="float:none !important; margin:0 30px !important;" /></a> Thanks goodshoeday.

Add 8 oz finely chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 mins Add 3 cups of water and simmer for 20 mins Add 200ml coconut milk and bring to boil then add juice of half a lime Put in the eggs. Serve Hope it helps you refine your remembered recipe. Hi Matt

To be honest I didn't notice anything special with Welsh paneer! Paneer seems fairly standard to me. It's an ingredient I used to quite like, but really needs to be used in the right way to make it nice - i'd argue the same for tofu. Definitely try making some though, it's really easy and tastes just as good if not better. Great, it’ll look forward to giving it a try.

I've never actually been to india (i know, i know) and as you don't always see paneer here to buy or on menus at i still can't get enough of it. Must look out for the Welsh paneer - or maybe try making some myself. I’ll look out Camellia Panjabis recipe for you and post it up.

I'd be interesting to see how this version of egg curry compares to Camellia Panjabi's and how they vary. This one was good but it still could do with some refining. I have to confess to not being a huge paneer fan - 6 weeks in India with it for every other meal ruined our relationship. This was my first time since when I've eaten it. Yesterday however Jenny made a lovely paneer recipe from Atul Kutcher's book, we'll try posting it up shortly. Experimenting is always good, just as long as you have something edible to fall back on.

I like the idea of "egg curry". I think that may have triggered the urge to experiment. Good post. Looks really interesting. I like the idea of “egg curry”.

I've made egg curry using the recipe in 50 Great Curries of India (by Camellia Panjabi) and I also LOVE paneer. Will definitely be trying this out. And creative use of the ITB ingredients. :) This looks really great. I’ve made egg curry using the recipe in 50 Great Curries of India (by Camellia Panjabi) and I also LOVE paneer.
