My daughter Roshni says: After years of observing and searching and finally finding the right vessel in Ahmedabad, I have finally achieved Parsi akuri just like my grandmother’s! (yes, the pot/pan makes a difference). Akuri is basically scrambled eggs.
Akuri is basically scrambled eggs. You can have it for breakfast. Serve it with Rotli or toasted bread.
-
The way you make each dish changes based on the method and process used in cooking the eggs.
-
Ingredients change the flavor of the spicy scrambled egg dish.
-
You can make it spicy, sweet and savory as in Bharuchi Akuri with dry fruits.
-
You can use akuri as a filling as in Akuri Pattice or simply rolled up in a Burrito, Rotli or Taco.
-
You can use it as a filling as in a sandwich (2 slices of buttered bread with akuri and grilled).

Recipe
Ingredients
-
4 eggs

1 onion chopped very fine
-
1 finely chopped tomatoes
-
1/4 cup fresh Coriander (kothmir) chopped (optional)
-
1 green chili finely chopped

2 tsp pieces of fresh finely chopped garlic and ginger or ginger-garlic paste

1/2 tsp of turmeric (haldi)

1/2 tsp each Coriander and Cumin Powder (dhanajeeru)
-
1/2 tsp Red chili powder
-
Salt to taste
-
1 tbsp Ghee or butter
Method
-
Fry onion till pinkish brown, add tomatoes.
-
Stir well and see that tomatoes are tender
-
Next add the ginger & garlic paste.
-
Stir well then add all the dry powder spices. Saute until the oil comes up than lower heat to lowest possible.
-
Beat eggs with a fork in a new bowl. Beat till frothy. Now add beaten eggs to the pan and stir cooked to the consistency of scrambled eggs.
Serve to the egg consistency you desire. I like it runny and soft, some like it well-cooked and hard.
Great for diabetics and protein rich diets.
