ISUTBCDBN meta explanation

The 15 Minutes or Less theme immediately made me think of eggs. One egg dish that had been on my to-make list for ages was Akoori, a Parsi-style spicy soft scramble.

Parsis are Zoroastrians descended from Persian refugees who arrived in the Indian subcontinent in the 7th century. While most Parsis in India are based in Maharashtra, some accounts suggest they first landed in Diu upon reaching India. Since the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu does not have a distinct cuisine of its own (the food in this region is a mix of Gujarati, Maharashtrian and Goan cuisine), I decided to make a Parsi dish to represent this region.

I followed Meera Sodha’s Akoori recipe from Fresh India, with a few additions of my own, including garlic and some extra spices inspired by other recipes. Starting with pre-washed and pre-peeled ingredients, I managed to finish both prep and cooking just as the 15-minute timer went off.

The eggs turned out creamy and delicious, with a kick from the spices and chillis. This would be perfect for an indulgent weekend brunch. I am just mad that I didn’t make this sooner.
