Kerala style scrambled egg/ mutta chikkiyathu is slightly browned and crispy with onions, coconut, and curry leaves.

 Akuri is a traditional Parsi egg recipe. Parsi's in India has a rich culinary tradition with unique recipes. They are the descents of Persian Zoroastrians. Their recipes show a strong Persian and Iranian influence and at the same time adapting to local Indian, especially Gujarati cuisine. Akuri is a Parsi breakfast. It is a soft and fluffy egg scramble which is neither runny nor overcooked. The best way to cook it at a medium-low temperature for a soft custard scramble. Since this is not towards the runny side, it can be a perfect filling for a spicy egg sandwich or a wrap filling. There is also another version of Akuri which contains nuts and dried fruits. Give this recipe a try, you will surely love it.
