Recipes with eggs

Eggs are the fastest answer to an empty fridge. This collection gathers the dishes in our library that use egg as a main ingredient: egg curry, omelettes, egg-stuffed parathas, fried rice and a few breakfast plates.

Most of them are ready in well under 40 minutes. Open a card for the ingredient list, the numbered steps and the built-in timers.

Storage and swaps: keep eggs in the fridge in their carton and cook them until the whites and yolks are firm when serving children, older relatives or anyone pregnant. In baking-style dishes an egg can sometimes be replaced with a spoonful of yogurt, but in egg curry or bhurji there is no real substitute.

This collection has 20 dishes, including Anda Curry, Anda Paratha, Omelette Desi. A typical recipe takes about 40 minutes, and each one comes with step-by-step instructions and cooking timers.
