Akuri Spiced Scrambled Eggs Food

DISHOOM'S AKURI (SPICED SCRAMBLED EGGS)

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Slice the tomato in half. Put one half on a baking tray, cut-side up, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the sea salt flakes. Cook under the grill for 10 minutes until softened and browned on top.
• Put the chopped chilli, coriander sprigs and red onion in a bowl. Remove and discard the seeds from the other tomato half, finely chop the flesh and add it to the bowl. Add the turmeric and deggi mirch. Set the bowl aside. Put the bread in your toaster at this stage so it will be ready.
• Warm a medium frying pan over a high heat. Crack the eggs into a cup or small jug, but don't mix them at this stage.
• Add the vegetable oil to the pan and swirl to ensure the base is coated. Add the fine sea salt to the onion mixture and toss well. When the oil is hot, tip the contents of the bowl into the pan and let the mixture sizzle for 40 seconds, stirring regularly so nothing burns.
• Add the eggs and mix well to scramble. Count to five, then mix the eggs again. Count to five again, then mix again. Repeat this process, counting only to three each time, until the eggs are just cooked and still very soft.
• Butter your toast, put it on a warm plate and pile the eggs on top. Serve immediately, scattered with a few coriander leaves and with the grilled tomato on the side.

AKURI RECIPE (PARSI STYLE SEASONED SCRAMBLED EGGS)

Steps:

• To begin making the Akuri Recipe, first chop onions, tomatoes and green chilies finely. Grate garlic cloves. Keep aside until ready to cook the Akuri.
• Break all the eggs into a bowl, add salt to taste, pour in the cream and whisk well. The more you whisk the eggs, the fluffier the akuri will be. So take time to whisk the eggs thoroughly till frothy.
• Place a pan on the heat, melt some butter into it. Add grated garlic, chopped green chilies and onions and saute it all up until onions turn pink, but take care not to brown them.
• When the onions are soft and translucent, add tomatoes and cook until tomatoes turn soft and release its juices.
• Now add the egg-cream Akuri mixture and allow it cook for a minute. Then gently scrape the sides of the pan, slightly scrambling the eggs. Stir it all up and once again allow it to cook for a minute. Continue to gently scrape and scramble till the eggs are cooked, but not over cooked. They should be soft, slightly runny and creamy, and not shredded into separate bits.
• Sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves, mix well and turn off the flame and the Parsi Style Seasoned Scrambled Eggs is ready.
• Serve the Akuri Recipe (Parsi Style Seasoned Scrambled Eggs) hot with sliced bread or toast and tea or coffee.

AKURI SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Melt the butter over a high heat in a heavy nonstick frying pan (be careful not to let it burn). Once it begins to bubble, add the finely chopped tomato, onion and chilli, the chilli power, turmeric and salt. Stir and cook for around a minute but do not let the onion fully soften, you want to keep a bit of crunch.
• Add 1sp of water and then the beaten egg and chopped coriander. Continuously stir as you would if making scrambled eggs, approx 30-90 seconds. Take the pan off the heat just before the eggs look done, they will continue to cook from their own heat.
• Spoon the eggs over freshly toasted sourdough, as a twist to a full English or for a truly Bombay breakfast, spread some mango or tomato chutney over a slightly toasted naan bread and then top with the delicious spicy eggs. The addition of crispy bacon is optional! Enjoy!
