Eggs are one of the most versatile and ubiquitous foods in the world. They not only make it to our breakfast table in the form of scrambled eggs and toast, but they also make a big part of our street food culture. Masala omelette, anda bhurji and more such desi egg recipes are commonly found on the streets of India. But a street food vendor in Bhopal is selling a unique egg recipe, which came as quite a surprising but welcome change. The video of the food stall was shared on the Instagram page 'yumyumindia' and it was captioned with: "Special Egg Banjo in Bhopal".
What Is Egg Banjo?
Egg banjo is a long-forgotten variety of egg sandwiches with more than one fried egg stuffed between heavily buttered bread slices. The highlight of the dish is that the eggs are runny, not fully cooked, and the sandwich is moist and juicy. It is said that this sandwich became a popular snack during World War 1 as it could be made quickly.
