I woke up Sunday morning…to a sweet ping on my blackberry. Yes…okay…it was nearly 11:00 am…and maybe we should have been up and at it, but we were still fully nestled under the sheets! After all, many of you folks know how much we love our sleep around these parts. Sleep-ins on the week-end are very much cherished and something we adore! Coziest of cozies!!! Anyhoo…my dear friend and co-worker Jasmine made me smile by emailing and sharing with me one of her favourite recipes. Akuri…a spicy egg dish, commonly eaten in Parsi culture.
Jasmine had been speaking about it’s wicked-awesomeness at work…and it sounded truly incredible. I couldn’t wait to try this new little number. Sunday is typically our big ‘grocery shop’, so I was able to pick everything up for the dish when we were out and about. We made this ‘scrambled egg concoction’ Sunday for dins…and again on Monday night, because we loved it like crazy! Jokingly, we were literally arguing over who got more in their bowl. When dins was done…both of us chuckled, as we still wanted more!! HA!
Thank-you SO much Jasmine for introducing us to this goodness. A terrific alternative to reg scrambled eggs. Try ’em…give it a go and spice up your life a little. A total game changer in our opinions. Excellent solution to those looking for a quick, easy and delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner idea! Hope you like…
- 8 eggs - scrambled
- butter, ghee, coconut oil
- 1 medium white onion - diced
- 2-3 tomatoes - diced
- 4 cloves garlic - minced/crushed
- 1 jalapeno pepper or 2 green chile peppers - finely chopped (remove seeds if you don't want it too hot or add more if you like it really spicy!)

- 2 tsp turmeric
- a few pinches of sea salt - to taste
- start by chopping up all your veggies and herbs
- in a pan, heat 1-2 tbsp of butter/ghee or coconut oil

- next, add in tomatoes, garlic, peppers and cilantro and cook on medium for a few minutes, until tomatoes soften
- add in your turmeric and season with salt, while stirring together
- meanwhile, get eggs ready by cracking them and whipping them together in a large bowl (I added in some cold water to the mixture, to make them more fluffy)
- turn up the heat a little, and add your scrambled eggs to the pan
- cook and keep stirring, until eggs are scrambled to your liking
- garnish with more chopped cilantro if you wish
- enjoy!

Omelette is probably one of the best way to start a day and also the easiest way.
If you have difficulties to digest the protein you can have pineapple juice or papaya to help.
