This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition. I tweaked it a bit, personal preference.

Tips for Making Curried Egg Salad with Caramelized Onions
- Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh eggs, mayonnaise, and vegetables. It also means using a good quality curry powder.
- Don't overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until they are hard-boiled, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly.
- Chop the vegetables finely. This will help them to blend in with the other ingredients and make the salad more cohesive.
- Caramelize the onions slowly. This will help them to develop a deep, rich flavor.
- Use a light hand with the curry powder. Too much curry powder can overpower the other flavors in the salad.
- Season the salad to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other seasonings until the salad reaches your desired flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Curried egg salad is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion
Curried egg salad with caramelized onions is a delicious and versatile dish. It can be served as a sandwich, on a salad, or as a dip. It is also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
