@shain, I am intrigued by the egg curry. I presume one beats the eggs with the yogurt, ground peanuts and spices (what spices? and would organic peanut butter, which is truly just ground peanuts, work?), pours the whole concoction into a baking dish, and bakes as if it were a quiche. The sauce I think I could muddle through; just saute the onions, add the tomatoes, coconut milk and spices, and simmer until it's thick?
Any pointers you can share would be deeply appreciated. I think I have to try this. I may wait until my "guinea pig," a friend on whom I try most new recipes, visits.
You got it. I blended the eggs with whole peanuts, hence effectively creating ground peanuts. But peanut butter will do perfectly well.
Here's the recipe, for you to use as a baseline.

This egg preparation (with spices removed/adjusted) can be used instead of tofu in many dishes, if you happen to dislike tofu.
In this recipe, one could use paneer instead of the egg cubes.
Ingredients:
For the eggs:
- 1 tsp fenugreek, soaked in water to cover
- 5 eggs
- 70-90 g yogurt
- 3 tbsp toasted peanuts
- hot chili to taste
- black pepper
- (optional) a pinch of MSG
- salt to taste
For the sauce:
- Butter for frying
- 1 largish onion, diced in large pieces (~ 2 cm wide)
- 1 large tomato, diced into medium pieces (~ 1 cm wide)
- Hot chili pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp ginger, minced
- 3-4 kaffir lime leaves
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp sweet paprika or other ground chili
- 1 tsp "curry powder" (mine is mostly turmeric, with some cumin, fennel, pepper and fenugreek)
- 70 g yogurt
- 60 g full fat coconut milk (coconut cream)
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- chopped cilantro
- black pepper
- salt
For the tadka:
- 1-2 tsp butter
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1.5 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
- a pinch of asafoetida (hing) - I love hing, so I use more
Method:
Make the eggs:
Heat oven to 200 deg C.
Oil a frying pan or baking pan, and heat it in the oven.
Meanwhile, blend together the egg mixture ingredients.
Pour into pan and bake until fully set, but pale.
Let cool, and cut into 3 cm wide cubes.
Make the sauce:
Saute the onion in butter, until golden.
Add tomato, chili, kaffir lime, ginger.
Cook 5 minutes until the tomato is softened, but not falling apart.
Add cumin, paprika, curry powder.
Remove from heat.
Add yogurt, coconut milk, garam masala, cilantro, pepper.
Add salt to taste.
Fry the tadka spices in butter and add to the sauce.
Add the egg cubes and simmer until heated through.

1 tsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon
apx. 1/4 tsp black pepper
Tadka:
1-2 tsp butter
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp fennel seeds

@shain Looks and sounds good. I'd add crisp radishes, maybe quick pickled onion, lime wedges and a small bowl of extra green sauce to unite the rice and beans. I want it all
Thanks
We actually did have more of the sauce and feta to supplement, and also some pickled chilies.
I store a jar of salted vinegar and sliced chilies in the fridge. I simply add more chilies when needed, and never allow it to get empty

In the spirit of Ramadan, I made atayef.
They are filled with ricotta and sour cream, lightly salted. Flavored with orange blossom water, a hint of cinnamon and lightly soaked in honey syrup. Apparently I'm out of pistachios, so I drizzled some pistachio paste (which is not as pretty, but delicious).

Sorry shain, I forgot to respond to your post. Let me know when you take on the L'opera cake. I will give you my notes or recipes if you want. It is definitely one of my favorites.
No worries
I appreciate your willingness to help. It might take me a short while to get to it, but I'd still welcome your recipe/tips. Thanks!

Mulberry season starts next week here, I'm happy, one of my favourites! Do you have the white ones where you live?
Our tree is of the Afghan variety, and it's season comes to an end. There are just a few white mulberry trees around, and a somewhat more of the black type.
There used to be a tree in almost every yard when I was younger - they used to plant them above the chickens cops for shade, back when almost every family had chickens.
Here's one from my tree, with my hand for scale. They are quite long.

They'll still be OK for cooking, but won't be crisp for eating straight.
