Instructions
-
Prepare the Base
Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of salted butter in a preheated pan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Allow the cumin seeds to sizzle and release their fragrant aroma. Next, add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes aromatic. -
Sauté Onions and Chillies
To the pan, add 2 finely chopped onions and 1 chopped green chilli. Sauté the mixture for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown. This step is essential for building the flavor base of the dish. -
Add Spices and Tomatoes
Once the onions are golden, sprinkle in salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, and 1 teaspoon cumin powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the onions. Add the 2 chopped tomatoes and a splash of water. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften. -
Mash the Onion-Tomato Mixture
After the tomatoes have softened, uncover the pan and use a potato masher to mash the onion-tomato mixture until it becomes a smooth, thick paste. -
Add Pav Bhaji Masala
Add 2 tablespoons of Pav Bhaji masala to the mixture, stirring to incorporate it into the cooked base. This adds the signature Pav Bhaji flavor, infusing the mixture with a deliciously tangy and spicy taste. -
Scramble the Eggs
Break 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together. Gradually pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the onion-tomato masala while cooking over medium-high heat. Use a spatula to stir vigorously, scrambling the eggs into the masala. Cook the mixture until the eggs are scrambled and well mixed with the masala. -
Add Boiled Eggs
Add the 4 boiled eggs, cut into medium-sized pieces, to the pan. Gently fold them into the scrambled egg mixture, ensuring the eggs are well incorporated. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt if necessary. -
Prepare the Fried Eggs
In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon of butter. Crack the remaining 4 whole eggs into the pan and fry them to your desired level of doneness (sunny side up or fully cooked). Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a little Pav Bhaji masala on top for extra flavor. -
Serve and Garnish
Once the Anda Ghotala is ready, transfer it to a serving platter. Top the dish with the fried eggs, sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves, and garnish with an additional sprinkle of Pav Bhaji masala. Serve hot with buttered pav (bread rolls) for the ultimate breakfast experience.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with warm, buttered pav or toasted bread for a complete meal.
- You can also enjoy it with some yogurt or pickle on the side for added flavor.
