73. Egg Curry with poppy seeds (Dim Posto)

Final Outcome: Its different.

        It's a nice feeling when people you are cooking for will eat no matter how the dish ends up tasting. My brother and sis-in-law are such people. They will eat without complaining. Hence I have tried a couple of dishes on them. Unfortunately both did not turn up as tasty as expected. But 'hey' the pot was empty at the end of the meal. How nice :-)
        This curry has a little bit of an acquired taste. Hence many people may not like it. Overall it was not bad.
