Sumatran egg curry with green sambal (gulai telur)

Curries from the western Indonesia island of Sumatra are believed to derive from Indian curries and they’re known for their yellow hue, which comes from turmeric. And this green sambal - sambal lado ijo - is typical of the kind you’d find in Padang, also on the island of Sumatra, renown for its particularly fiery cuisine. Chili, curry and rice are essentials of a Padang meal. Serve this on its own or as part of a larger, curry-centric spread of dishes, with plenty of rice for mopping up all the flavoursome sauce.
