Akuri Masala is a creamy Parsi-style scrambled egg dish infused with aromatic spices, herbs, and chilies. Soft, buttery eggs are cooked gently for a rich and flavorful breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 green chiles (deseeded and finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chile powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 2 tablespoons deseeded and finely chopped tomato
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Sliced bread or toast (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Break the eggs into a bowl, add salt, and whisk thoroughly until frothy.
  2. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until melted.
  3. Add garlic, ginger, green chiles, and onions. Sauté until onions are golden brown, about 4 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add red chile powder, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in tomatoes and cook until soft and juicy, about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook undisturbed for 1 minute.
  7. Gently scrape the sides and stir lightly. Continue cooking and gently scrambling for 2 to 4 minutes until soft, creamy, and slightly runny.
  8. Mix in chopped cilantro and turn off the heat.
  9. Serve hot with sliced bread or toast.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the eggs; they should remain soft and creamy.
  • Adjust green chilies to control spice level.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute butter with oil if preferred.
