Tadka Egg Toast

breakfast · brunch · cream cheese · crispy eggs · eggs

Prep 1

This is my version of a good breakfast – eggs, toast and a delicious Indian tadka that we all can’t do without! I add a thick layer of cream cheese and spicy homemade techa (green chilies, peanuts and coriander brought together in a mortar and pestle) which is full of vitamin C and omega-C. the crunchiness of the curry leaves is a true delight!

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Spread cream cheese and techa over hot toast

2 In a small frying pan, fry the egg to the time that you prefer – I prefer 3 minutes or so, because I like a little runny egg yolk

3 Then place it over the toast

4 Then warm some more oil and fry the mustard seeds, urad white dal, hing and curry leaves and pour over the toast

5 Eat!

Olive + Cheese French Toast

This is a delicious quick meal that can be had at any time of the day and perhaps one of my most favourite. Once I had an olive baguette that I used, and ever since, I’ve been adding olives into the egg batter. The dash of Worcestershire sauce is like a Welsh rarebit recipe – and adds a dash of oomph. Lots of herbs and chilies and then the best part is – lots of cheese on top – until nice golden and crispy! Eat as is, with sides of ketchup or hot sauce, some Dijon works too!

Pineapple Mithai Oatmeal

Oatmeal in a mithai flavour format? This is a real killer with the elderly who love sweets, but need a bit of fibre alongwith. I make the oatmeal the old-fashioned way in water with a pinch of salt, and for flavour i char-grill pineapple bits, add kesar, elaichi, badam and pista. If you like, add a dash of malai at the end and stir well! All the richness without the guilt!

Pumpkin Leek + Sage Frittata

Whenever I get my hands on a packet of fresh herbs I like to use them up in all ways possible before they get spoilt. Sage is one of my favourite – goes in eggs, pastas, potatoes, cocktails, into a syrup, on fruit with some salt and sugar – the possibilities are endless. But my honest favourite way is pairing sage with pumpkin – a match made in true heaven. I sauté up the pumpkin slices with garlic, leeks and then the sage is added in for its delightful warm, peppery delicious flavours. The egg batter goes in with some peas and cheese and always, always a pinch of nutmeg to make a delicious frittata. I have this for dinner multiple times a month – but if you have a brunch party – go ahead whip this one up!
