Anda burji

I didn't see any specific value add in putting up recipes on my blog since the internet seems to be overflowing with them but then I read too many recipes where I shake my head in disagreement or want to improve upon them. So I thought well, I will put down my recipes every once in a while and if find yourself shaking your head in disagreement or want to improve on it, do let me know :)

Now lot of people have trouble eating eggs, specially because of the smell and I have an excellent recipe of eggs that don't smell, look or even taste like eggs. If you have been in Mumbai then you would know that on the streets specially at odd hours like 4 am there are a bunch of stalls that will make you an delicious anda ( egg in Hindi) burji with pav.

What you'll need:

• 6 Whole eggs
• 1/2 tsp of turmeric
• 1 tsp of paprika ( this is what is popularly known in hindi as kashmiri mirch, it doesn't have much heat and is generally used for it's vibrant color specially in tikkas)
• 1 tsp of cumin powder ( optional)
• 2 green chillies finely chopped ( optional, add these only if you enjoy heat)
• Salt to taste
• 2 Tbsp of coconut oil
• 3 Medium sized onions finely chopped ( a good rule to follow would be about half an onion for each egg)
• 3 Medium sized tomatoes ( same rule here, about half a tomato for each egg)
• Handful of fresh coriander leaves

What you'll need to do

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the onions on a low flame till they are translucent and turn a light pink color.
2. Add the tomatoes, green chillies, cumin, salt, turmeric and paprika, then cook the tomatoes of a low flame till they are soft and cooked properly.
3. In a bowl beat the eggs together and after the tomatoes are cooked add the eggs to the pan.
4. Stir the eggs slowly till they are cooked properly and garnish them with the coriander.

That's it, your eggs are ready!!
