Uova in Curry-something out of the ordinary

Uova in Curry (eggs in curry sauce) is something out of the ordinary and a dish I have come up with for my next book. It makes a great second course dish for almost any meal. Although, the recipe is done in an Italian style with the tomato based sauce-the adding of the curry is not something traditionally Italian. But the curry does give this easy and healthy dish its’ own character.
Try it and let me know how you like it….
