Akuri – This dish is considered to be part of a traditional Parsi breakfast. The eggs are just about runny but not overcooked, mixed with mild spices and served with bread and salad.
Method of Parsi Akuri Recipe
Finely chop the onions, chilies, tomatoes and coriander leaves.
Break the eggs in a bowl and beat well with a fork.
In a shallow frying pan, heat oil, butter or ghee. Add the onions. Cook till translucent, add the green chilly and tomatoes.
Add the spice powders now. Stir fry till the tomatoes get soft and mushy. Add the ketchup in.
Now add the beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture on slow fire. The eggs will start to cook. Keep on stirring. Otherwise, the eggs will start sticking to the bottom of the pan.
If the egg is sticking to the pan then add 1-2 tsp of oil or butter.
Cook the eggs till almost firm, remove from the pan. Garnish with coriander leaves and grated cheese.
Akuri is best enjoyed with buttered toast, bun maska, ketchup, and Masala chai.
You can try a variation of Akuri with fresh green garlic for added flavor.
