Recipe
1
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onions until they turn translucent and soft.
2
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sliced green chilies, cooking for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, and red chili powder, cooking until the tomatoes turn soft and release their natural oils.
4
Crack the eggs directly into the pan and season with salt according to your taste.
5
Using a spatula, gently stir and scramble the eggs on low heat, ensuring they remain moist and creamy rather than overcooked.
6
Fold in the freshly chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat.
7
Lightly toast the Pao buns with a generous spread of butter on a hot skillet.
8
Serve the hot, spiced Akuri immediately alongside the warm buttered Pao.
