What Is Akuri (Parsi-Style Scrambled Eggs)?

Pair it with warm bread or pav, and you're good to go!
What's the Difference Between Akuri and Bhurji?
Now, you might be wondering how Akuri differs from your everyday egg bhurji. While both are spicy and scrambled, there's one key difference – Akuri is all about creamy perfection and is slightly runny in nature. In comparison, bhurji takes longer to cook and is drier and firmer in texture. The creaminess and runny nature of Akuri make it the perfect accompaniment for bread and pav!

How to Make Parsi-Style Scrambled Eggs | Akuri Recipe
Making these Parsi-style scrambled eggs at home is super easy. This recipe was shared by content creator Karan Gokani on Instagram. To make it:
1. Prepare the Eggs
Start by cracking eggs into a bowl. Season them with salt and whisk until the ingredients are well combined. Set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Masala
Heat a pan on medium flame and add a dollop of butter. Chop onions, tomatoes, and green chillies. Add the vegetables to the buttered pan and sauté until soft. Once tender, add your spices – chilli, turmeric, coriander, and cumin. If the mixture becomes too thick and starts to stick, add a splash of water and let it cook. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and give it a good mix.
3. Combine the Ingredients
Once the masala is ready, add the whisked eggs to the mixture and combine. Switch off the flame and let the eggs cook in the pan's heat. Keep stirring and mixing the eggs to ensure they're well combined with the masala mixture. Add a tablespoon of butter and a dash of vinegar, then mix well. Pair with bread and enjoy!
