Softly folded to perfection, Akoori delivers a luscious, spiced texture that pairs beautifully with buttery bread, crisp chapati, or toasted pao. Fresh cilantro adds a herbaceous brightness, while a squeeze of lime takes it to the next level of flavor. Ready in just 20 minutes, this quick and easy recipe is ideal for a hearty brunch or a cozy dinner, bringing a taste of Parsi heritage to your table.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and a pinch of turmeric. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped onions. Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies to the pan. Cook for another 1 minute until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Give the whisked egg mixture one last stir, then pour it into the pan with the spiced tomato mixture.
Using a spatula, gently fold and stir the eggs, cooking slowly to ensure they stay soft and creamy. Stir continuously, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny.
Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the akoori and gently mix.
Serve the akoori hot with warm bread, chapati, or toasted pao. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top for an optional zing.
