Akuri for brunch at home



Saturday brunch always seems to involve eggs. I woke up in a mood for akuri today. Akuri is spicy scrambled eggs, Parsi style. I first learnt the recipe from my friend Daljeet in California. I pair akuri with lightly buttered toast and a glass of fresh orange juice - a sumptious way to start Saturday, don't you think?

I attempted a visual recipe for you this time. Ingredients include 1 small red onion (to give the eggs an extra kick), 1 inch ginger, 2 cloves garlic, 4 green chilis, some fresh coriander, tomatoes, 1 tsp garam masala or dhania-jeera powder, 1 tsp cumin, 4 eggs beaten well with a few tsps of milk, a little butter.




Happy Saturday!

dear anonymous
i can so guess who you are :)
i miss you! sorry i haven't visited a romanian restaurant as yet. when i think of going out, i tend to debate between japanese, chinese, thai, vietnamese, indian, italian, french or mexican usually. and i wonder about vegetarian options at a romanian place.
anyways, i have heard of a place called famous sammy's on christie street which i will check out for you soon.
when are you going to send me some figs?

lulu,you just beat me to it.actually,after reading a's comments y'day. i figured out who the invisible person was and wanted to announce to you that the identity of the mystery has been solved.but the fig man gave himself up,anyway!
talking about scrambled eggs,that was my favourite in the good old bachelorhood days.i would stop by at bg on my way to vt station,have a quick s.e.on toast(my mom permitted me to have it as a special case)parsi style and dash off to take the 7.20.it used to be touch and go.also after tennis sitting with bhai in the lounge,we would order s.e.o.t.gone are those days.i am a shakhahari now,confirmed,no deem(egg),no maach(fish),no maangso(meat).

My wife Sue and I made Akuri today, and it was great. I ate Akuri 25 years ago at a country club in Bombay. Sue had never tasted it. Thanks
