Parsi Recipe - Methi par Eedu, Eggs with Fenugreek

Hello.

Wishing all my readers and recipe lovers a very happy and prosperous 2020. May it be a healthy one filled with good wholesome food. Cooking with love for your family be your priority and may you cherish each meal moment with them.

Today was the first day of 2020. And I wished to pack my husband tiffin with something easy and freshly cooked. This recipe of Bhajji per eedu took 20 minutes to prepare. I got it done while he was reading his morning paper over a cup of tea.

Actually, the combination of vegetables with protein is the best option in a Parsi household. I used small methi (fenugreek). It is slightly bitter but very nutritious.

For Methi Par Eeda Recipe with two eggs

Ingredients 

2 cups fenugreek (washed and cut)
2 eggs
1 bunch spring onions
1 tbsp oil
2 tomatoes
1 chopped green chilly
1/2 tsp ginger - garlic paste
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2  tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp white vinegar
A small piece of jaggery
1 tsp chopped coriander leaves
Salt to taste

Method

1 Wash and finely chop the methi leaves. Chop spring onions and tomatoes too.

2. Heat oil in a deep non-stick pan. Add onion bulbs and sauté till pinkish in color.  Add chopped chilies and ginger garlic paste. Stir for another  30 seconds.

3. Now add the methi leaves and spring onion greens and stir on low flame for 2 to 3 minutes

4. Now add the chopped tomato, salt, chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder, mix and cook for 1-2 minutes.

5  The fenugreek and tomatoes will leave the water and cook in itself. Cover and cook, it will take lesser time.

6  Gradually add the vinegar and jaggery and mix it well. Cover and cook on low heat till water dries.

 

7. Now transfer the mixture into a flat non-stick pan and it spread evenly. Place the pan on heat.

8. Break the eggs, one by one. See that the yolks don't split. Keep some distance between the two eggs

9. Place a lid on the pan. And add a little water on top of the lid.  Cover and cook 3-4 minutes.

10. Open the lid, sprinkle salt and chopped coriander leaves.

11. Cut a slice with the egg. Serve with hot chappatis and ketchup.

Note

If you feel the methi is burning at the bottom, add a little water before topping it with eggs

You can beat the eggs and add the layer of beaten eggs as an option. This gives a more even finish.

Add a tablespoon of ketchup while cooking the fenugreek leaves if you enjoy a sweet taste to your dish.

Bheeda per Eendu - Parsi recipe of eggs baked over Okra

Hello friends,

My experience of making bhinda per eedu dates back to my early marriage days when I just knew just a few dishes to cook. And this dish was a life saver.
Okra or lady's finger (Bhindi) have to be first well cooked and before serving the dish,  the okra is topped with a well-beaten layer of eggs and a lavish bhabraving (sprinkle) of pepper and coriander leaves.

 Bhinda per eedu is the best way to get your family to relish vegetables and enjoy the protein of eggs. We bawas love eggs at any meal.

Note the ingredients and get those eggs cracking.

Ingredients

250 gms Okra ( bhindi)
3 Eggs ( beaten)
1 Tomato (chopped)
1 Onion (chopped)
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp red chilly powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
A dash of lime
Few coriander leaves
Salt (to taste)

Method


1. In a frying pan, add the oil, chopped onion and saute till brown.

2.  Add ginger garlic and saute further till the raw aroma is gone.

3. Add the chopped okra and stir up for two minutes.

4. Now add dry masalas and cook well. Add the chopped tomatoes and continue cooking.

5. Add salt and lime juice at this stage. Cook the orkra till soft and is cooked.

6. Now beat the eggs with salt and pepper.

7. Use the back of your spoon to even out the cooked okra in the oiled pan, so that you have a flat base for the egg layering. Reduce the flame to low.

8. Spread a layer of the seasoned eggs over the okra mixture in the pan.

9. Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook on a low flame for about 10 minutes, till they are done.

10. Garnish with coriander leaves.

11. Serve it hot with roti ketchup and saali on the side.

Note

1. Sometimes you can crack a whole sunny-side-up egg over the bhindi to create a more wholesome meal.

2. Cook the eggs on a low flame so that the okra doesn’t burn at the bottom of the pan. But trust me, sometimes a  crispy layer of orka at the bottom tastes very yummy.

3. You can even bake the egg layering procedure in an oven.
