Akuri Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the onion, green chili, and ginger. Dice the tomato for the Akuri. Cut the additional tomato in half for grilling.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mixture

    In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in the ginger, green chili, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them into the pan. Stir gently to scramble, cooking until just set but still creamy.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Grilled Tomato

    In a separate skillet, grill the halved tomato cut-side down until slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Akuri on a plate, topped with fresh coriander leaves, alongside the grilled tomato and warm buns.
