Boiled egg curry always reminds me of my mother and her special cooking. It helps me reminisce my childhood days when on special occasions, as this very dish would be a highlight concocted by mum. To top it off, I personally love eggs and to pop them into a curry is almost a MasterChef move from my perspective.

Here's a special recipe to work on at home for those who are a big fan of this daily staple food.

• 3 bay leaves
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
