Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Then turn the heat to low so there's no bubbles. Use a skimmer to slowly and gently place the eggs in the pot. Turn the heat back to high and boil the eggs for 12-14 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and cool.
- Once your eggs are cool to touch, peel and discard the eggs shells.
- Cut the hard boiled eggs to your desired size (I prefer chunky).

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.

CURRIED EGG SALAD
Here is a recipe our colleague Jeff Gordinier got from the New York chef Jesse Schenker in the process of writing an article about Mr. Schenker's efforts to lose weight. It is for a much lighter version of the egg salad you may ordinarily make, with Greek yogurt standing in for mayonnaise and a number of egg yolks held back from the finished dish. But it is important to note that you don't have to do that. You can make this dish with all the yolks if you like, and pile the result into the midst of a green salad or on top of a roll, and you'll have a fine meal indeed.

- Serve the salad immediately. It's best when it's fresh.
