It’s now officially summer and I can’t think of any food that is more summery than deviled eggs. They are perfect for picnics, BBQs, potluck dinners and all other types of food gatherings. There are so many variations on deviled eggs and these curried ones are one of my favorites. I am not normally the biggest fan of curry powder but I love what it brings to these eggs. It gives them the perfect kick and does not overpower in any way—it really blends right in.
One of the most irritating things for me in the kitchen are eggs that do not peel easily. I have found that the more fresh the eggs are, the more difficult they are to peel. I try to plan ahead if I know I am going to be making deviled eggs and I buy the eggs five or six days ahead: the older they are, the easier the peels come off—trust me. I also find that an ice bath immediately after taking them out of the hot water really helps.
