Papeta Par Edu - Eggs On Spiced Potatoes - A Parsi Treat!

This very simple, humble yet mouthwatering dish is made by steaming eggs on spiced potatoes, lets start making this amazing dish!

Serves 4


Ingredients:

4 medium sized potatoes

4 medium sized red onions

½ cup cut fresh coriander

4 eggs

2 green chillies - finely chopped

¾ teaspoon ginger garlic paste

¾ teaspoon lasan jeeru marcha masala - garlic, green chillies & cumin paste (recipe in magic mixed section on this website)

½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder

½ teaspoon sambhar powder

½ teaspoon cumin seeds

3 tablespoons of oil

Salt as per taste


Instructions:

We start with peeling the potatoes and slicing them into thin slices as shown in the picture below. Keep the sliced potatoes in a bowl of water until you cook them, this will stop them from changing their color.

Chop onions and fry them in the oil until soft along with the green chillies and cumin seeds. Once the onions just start to turn lightly golden add the ginger garlic paste and lasan jeeru marcha masala and sauté everything for a while - make sure you keep mixing to avoid it from burning.

Now add the Kashmiri red chili powder, sambhar powder and salt and mix everything for about a minute very well. Add the potatoes (without water) and give everything a good stir. Sprinkle half of the cut fresh coriander on this potatoes mixture and mix. You need to let the potatoes cook on medium flame while stirring them often until they are done (no adding any water).

Once the potatoes are done turn off the gas and flatten this potatoes mixture completely in the same pan - it should be flat and firm so the eggs don't seep down into the pan but stay on top of the potatoes. Carefully break 4 eggs in the pan (near the four corners), sprinkle the remaining fresh coriander on the eggs, start the gas on medium flame, cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs steam. You will see the color of the yolk change once done. Enjoy this delicious meal with any type of bread you like or have it just as it is!
