I mentioned egg curry last week, so here it is:

Hard boil 8 eggs (4 servings at 2 per person)

Sweat 2 sliced red onions until soft

Add minced jarlic and saute for about 30 seconds

Add about 1lb finely diced roma tomato, salt & stew until they start breaking down

Season well with any Indian spices you have (I used curry powder, paprika, coriander, cumin and garam masala)

Top with about 2c water, then add your peeled eggs and simmer until they're warm again

Serve with naan!

I had about $.75 worth of eggs, but it's probably closer to $1.50-1.75, depending on local prices (mine were bought during a 99c sale), then about $1.25 in onions, maybe $.80-90 for tomatoes (~$.75/lb today) and $6 for two packages of naan. Naan is really easy and super cheap to make, though, so if you have time you can make it for about $2 ($1 in Greek yogurt – I recommend Fage, unless you have proper yogurt or curd available, then it's just flour, salt, yeast, water and a little bit of oil) and is better than storebought. You can brush with garlic butter after cooking them if you like.

All in, I think this meal cost us around $8-9, including buying the naan. Not bad for a meal with that much protein!
