Buns and omlette

                                       
                                  Omlette and Buns

This breakfast takes us back to our JNU days and the bun omlette of Kanshi Ram’s Dhaba that we fed on to starve off our hunger pangs. Except that it was very greasy but that probably added to its flavour.

Now we make our omlettes only with the egg whites and minimal oil.

The silver conch shaped dishes are a gift of Diwali and one is supposed to serve dry fruits in them I guess.

Omlette with macaroni

                   Macaroni Omlette Kyar Singh Style

For Breakfast our faithful Bahadur decided to experiment with the omlette. First he cooked macaroni with mushrooms and capsicum. Then with two egg whites a traditional omlette was made. The mushroom-macaroni mixture was added on and then another mix of two egg whites was added. It looked like a pie. Eaten with toasts one could only take a slice of it.

Egg Balls

                               

                               Egg balls Kyar Singh style

Decided to experiment with the usual eggballs in an unusual way. This is done with 3 eggs beaten in which  onions, chillies and ginger cut finely have been added. A table spoonful of maida(flour) and a pinch of baking soda is also whipped into it.

Normally this is then deep fried instead I used my Panirakkal pan to make them with just a drop of oil.

They tasted just as good and the masks from Kathmandu that Sujata gifted me from one of her Nepal trips complete the picture.

It’s another story that both Kyar Singh and Yam Bahadur failed to identify what gods they represent.

Eggsiting!

                                 Eggsiting

This was tried out by Kyar Singh thanks to Son2 being around ostensibly for his preparation leave. He uses it most efficiently by lounging around watching endless cricket. There’s the World Cup  ‘–it’s come after I was doing my tenth boards; Mamma’.

I never know what match is on cricket just puts me off. We have too much of it. Gone were the good old days that one heard the commentary on transistors and looked forward to our team going on a tour of England or Australia. Or the Pakistani team coming over. What excitement. It used to happen in large gaps and one savoured the matches. Now it’s an everyday affair its hard even to keep track of it.

Coming back to the eggs, this recipe I got from Begums Kitchen. It was really as good as it looks.

One has to make a gravy of onions and green chillies. I threw in some potatoes and mushrooms as well. Then just let the eggs settle on it.

Don’t miss my fancy tea-pot that is used now to grow Jade a type of cacti. The funny part is that at the bottom of the tea-pot is a screw which when turned gives out the old melodious tune. But since we like our tea dhaba type (everything brewed together)the teapots and milk pot and sugar bowl slowly become pots to grow my plants.
