Aalu Anda


So folks, one of my favourite lazy day recipe…. or desi day recipe…..😃

Its known as egg bhurji with potatoes in Indian Punjab and Aloo Anda in Pakistani Punjab.

Today I felt like having something filling, spicy, easy, simple and quick which we both (husband and wife) can enjoy…. so I cooked this…. recipe is easy pleasy! Lets start off with our ingredients…..

Ingredients:

1 medium sized potato 🥔

4 eggs 🥚

1 small sized onion 🧅 (diced)

1 small sized tomato 🍅 (diced)

1 tspn ginger 🫚 garlic 🧄paste

1 Turkish green chilli (Thats closest to our desi green chillies) (sliced)

2 tbspns fresh chopped coriander

1/4 cup oil

A generous pinch of salt in 4 eggs and 1/2 tspn for masala

1/2 tspn red chilli flakes to add in eggs

1/4 tspn red chilli powder to add in masala

1/2 tspn turmeric powder

1/2 tspn coriander powder

1/2 tspn cumin powder

A splash of milk to add in eggs 🥛

Method:

🥚Crack 4 eggs in a mixing bowl, add salt, red chilli flakes, milk and whisk until its uniform. Keep aside until needed.

🥔Peel and dice potatoes.

🥚Heat oil and fry onions until translucent, add a tspn of ginger garlic paste and fry until fragrant. Add tomatoes, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder and cook until tomatoes are mushy.

🥔Add potato dices and a splash of water and cover the pot. Cook on low to medium flame for 10 minutes or until the potato dices are cooked through and the oil starts separating. Add more water if needed or if the masala starts sticking to the pan.

🥚Add the egg mixture and cook on low to medium heat until the egg starts scrambling. While eggs are a little runny add green chillies and coriander and cover the pot and cook until the egg is cooked (roughly about 5 minutes).
