Sunday Brunch: Puri's, Alo Subzi & Khagina


Khagina:
My mother-in-law taught me this very versatile, and delicious, egg dish which can be eaten as a starter, with drinks, with hot phulkas, with bread and can also be grilled between 2 slices of bread/in a bun and make a great sandwich. And it is so easy to make!
Ingredients:
1 tsp Oil
2 eggs
I medium sized onion, sliced lengthwise
2 green chillies, slit
Salt to taste
1/4th spoon turmeric 

Method:
In a non-stick pan, heat the oil. Add the chillies and onions and sauté till Onions start turning transparent. Add the turmeric and salt, and sprinkle about 2-3 tbsps water on the onions. Stir and cook the onions etc in this water till water almost evaporates.
Break the eggs directly onto the cooked onions, when it starts cooking spread the yolk gently with a fork.
Using a flat spatula turn the Kagina, in parts, till it is done cooking on both sides. Do not overcook, or let it turn brown.
Eat when it’s hot, else it will taste like rubber J))
