A richly spiced Parsi-style scrambled egg dish, generously garnished with fresh herbs. Traditionally served on soft pav bread, it's a savory and comforting breakfast that awakens the senses.

Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/2 Onion, medium, finely chopped
  • 1 Tomato, small, finely chopped
  • 1 Green chili (like serrano or bird's eye), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garam masala
  • 1/4 cup Fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or Ghee
  • 4 Pav (soft Indian bread rolls)
  • to taste Salt
  • 1 pinch Sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and a pinch of sugar until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a pan, melt the butter or ghee over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the green chili and ginger-garlic paste, then cook for one minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and the oil separates from the spices.

  5. 5

    Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Stir constantly over low-medium heat until the eggs are scrambled to your preferred consistency (slightly creamy is ideal for Akuri).

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and fold in the chopped fresh coriander and mint leaves.

  7. 7

    Serve the hot Akuri immediately on lightly toasted pav or bread of your choice.

Chef's Tips

  • For a creamier Akuri, do not overcook the eggs; remove them from heat when they are still slightly moist.
