Spicy scrambled eggs with a hint of exotic curry.
Akuri Scrambled Eggs
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
This week I am sharing lots of brunch recipes!
For today I am doing an egg recipe, which is a variation on the classic Indian egg dish called Akuri (or Ekoori, depending how you like to spell it). It is a spicy version of scrambled eggs and it goes very well with chapatis or other flat breads. I also served mine with bacon (not what I expect you would see anywhere in India, but…) I love bacon!
I was very happy to utilize some sweet onions as well as a little egg crate that Le Creuset was kind enough to send. And while I usually just park my eggs on the counter on a towel or in a small bowl while they warm up for cooking, this little egg crate is quite nice. I also suspect it is better for holding my hard cooked eggs in the fridge instead of letting those eggs roll haphazardly around my cheese drawer. And along with another egg crate I had got about a year ago, they will make a nice display for Easter eggs come next year.
Some Moms (I am one of these) love nothing more than some simple, but spicy food for a bit of brunching. And if I had a cup of spiced chai tea to go with, I might be whisked away in my imagination to some far off land that “Smells of spice!” (as Colonel Brandon of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility might say).
I do hope you enjoy the day with your Mom or that special lady in your life.

Six recipes?! You are insane…in the best way possible!
That’s eight if you count the Sunday Supper recipes tat bookend it. Then I think I will be in a posting coma until I get down to FWCon next week! That fun will revitalize me! 🙂
These sound perfect. I love adding things to my scrambled eggs, so quick and easy and delicious!
Thanks!
It’s not the posting part that has me going crazy. It is finding the time to stop by and comment on everyone’s posts. Glad I finally made it here to see this great recipe.
I’ve never thought to add curry to eggs before, what a fun flavor change up!
It works! There is also a curry masala with a sauce and the hard cooked eggs are cut and dropped into the sauce. But I make the scrambled type much more often.
I’ve never heard of these eggs. They look fabulous!!
I think I first made some about 15 years ago. I make slight tweaks to it each time, but overall it is about the same. Very good with flat bread and yogurt!
Thanks nice post!Welcome Valentus laszloracz
