Method

  1. Place raisins in a small bowl and add enough boiling water to just cover. Allow to soak for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over moderate heat. When foam subsides, add onions, garlic and apple. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until onions and apple are soft but not brown.
  3. Stir in flour and curry powder with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove pan from heat and stir in milk. Return pan to heat and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Stir in cream, salt and pepper.
  5. Carefully fold eggs into sauce with a metal spoon. Gently simmer for 4–5 minutes or until eggs are thoroughly heated.
  6. Remove pan from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle raisins and almonds on top and serve with rice.
