Ingredients

• 185 g (¾ cup) Japanese mayonnaise
• 70 g (¼ cup) thick Greek yoghurt
• 1 tbsp mild curry powder
• 6 eggs
• 2 tbsp mango chutney, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Indian lime pickle, finely chopped
• 45 g (¼ cup) sultanas
• 3 spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp finely shredded coriander
• salt and black pepper, to season
• 4 slices soft white bread
• softened butter, for spreading

Instructions

1. Place the mayonnaise, yoghurt and curry powder in a bowl and mix to combine.
2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Using a thin metal skewer, prick a hole in the base of the eggs. Gently place the eggs into the water and stir for 30 seconds. Simmer for 8 minutes, then plunge into iced water. Stir in the iced water a few times and stand for 5 minutes until completely cool, then peel.
3. Roughly chop 4 of the eggs and combine with the mayonnaise mixture. Add the mango chutney, lime pickle, sultanas, spring onions and coriander and season well with salt and black pepper.
4. Butter the bread. Generously top one slice with the egg mixture, add a whole boiled egg in the middle and pile more chopped mixture around the egg. Top with another slice of buttered bread, then repeat with the remaining bread, filling and egg to make 2 sandwiches. Cut off the crusts and slice in half through the middle to serve.
