The amazing thing about Sri Lankan recipes is that you can adjust those as you like.There are no hard and fast rules when you cook most of the Sri Lankan food.This is why I always love to experiment in my kitchen with basic traditional Sri Lankan recipes.This potato and egg curry is such a curry I cook most of the time which is a combination of both potato curry and egg curry.

Don’t worry.You can taste egg curry and potato curry in the same dish!Or otherwise follow the same instructions using one main ingredient only.If you want to cook mild spicy potato curry,then omit eggs in this recipe.If you look for egg curry recipe,simply don’t use potatoes to your cooking.It is that simple to cook 2 another simple curries using thew same recipe.

Well,I have a reason to combine both potatoes and hard boiled eggs in to a curry.My kid doesn’t like eggs.But he likes potatoes.If I cook hard boiled eggs or even omelette,it is part of a parenting struggle to feed him.Anyway I am a mom who doesn’t beg the kid to eat. 🙂 But,I am good at hiding food in his meal.

Cooking this eggs and potatoes curry is an easier way to add eggs or flavours of eggs to the curry.Without much egg flavours,he eats the potato curry with at least a portion of nutrients.Sigh! 🙂

Well,I know it is same with most moms.You need to be creative in the kitchen if you want to feed the kids the right foods.

If you look for flavourful thick curry,try this potatoes and eggs curry.It well goes with plain rice,bread or string hoppers.

I’m sitting here wondering what curry tastes like and what it could be compared to. I’ve never had it before but the ingredients sound divine.

Getting kids to eat different foods is a challenge. But this dish looks too good to pass up. I love anything with coconut milk and potatoes.

Sounds delicious! Would love to eat this for breakfast! Eggs on its own is fairly boring and this would be a delightful upgrade!
