Classic curried egg salad
Curried egg salad and curried egg sandwiches are such classic Australian recipes and we think this recipe is the best of them all! It's got your regular curry powder and mayonnaise in it, but it also has a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice to cut through the richness of the other ingredients. If the salad on it's own or topped on bread isn't your thing, you can easily serve the curried egg mixture in lettuce cups or even on steamed rice. Source: kidspot

Steps
Grease a shallow baking dish (4-cup capacity) that fits inside a large deep frying pan with a lid. Crack eggs into baking dish so that eggs are in a single layer. Place inside frying pan. Fill pan with enough water to come 1cm up the sides. Cover with lid and cook over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes with the lid on (see notes).
Transfer eggs to a chopping board and coarsely chop. Transfer to a bowl.
Stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder and parsley. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until cold.
Serve curried egg salad as is, or on fresh white bread and topped with watercress.
