Cauliflower & Hard Boiled Eggs Thai Red Curry
Oh! Curry. I have no idea when I became a curry lover; probably since I moved to the U.S. I think there are two reasons for this. One is I love spicy taste and the hot temperature. Another reason is curry is such an easy recipe to cook, and it does not require too many ingredients.

The idea of Cauliflower and Hard Boiled Eggs Thai Red Curry
I do not only enjoy Thai curry, but I also enjoy Indian curry, too. I have seen Indian cauliflower curry in Indian restaurants and on the internet however I have never ordered or cooked it yet. I like cauliflower, and in Thai cuisine, we normally stir fry it with meat or steam it and eat as a side with Thai spicy salsa/dip.

It can improve blood pressure and kidney function, too. Cauliflower carries anti-inflammatory nutrients to help keep inflammation in check. Some inflammatory activity is good for our health.

About the recipe
In this recipe, I pair the cauliflower with hard boiled eggs. The thing that I love about the recipe is the soft texture of the cooked cauliflower. The cauliflower absorbed the red curry sauce so well meanwhile that when I felt slightly too much of the heat from eating the cauliflower I scooped the hard boiled egg to cool the spiciness down a little bit. The cauliflower and hard boiled eggs are such a good balance for the recipe.
