Parsi Akuri Masala Eggs with Toast, finished dish

Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1 small green chile, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp milk or cream
  • 4 slices sourdough or whole-grain toast
  • 1 lemon wedge

Steps

  1. Whisk the eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until fully combined; toast the bread just before serving.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook onion for 3 minutes until soft but not browned.
  3. Add tomato, chile, ginger, turmeric, and cumin and cook for 2 minutes until the tomato releases its juices.
  4. Lower the heat and add the eggs. Stir slowly with a silicone spatula, sweeping the pan floor continuously.
  5. Remove the pan when the eggs are softly curdled but still glossy; residual heat will finish them safely.
  6. Fold in cilantro, taste for salt, and serve immediately over hot toast with lemon.
