Eggs-Kejriwal-Recipe-for-Breakfast

This recipe for Eggs Kejriwal is a cheese, egg and chilli sandwich invented by the Willingdon Club in Mumbai. Its spicy and delicious.

First things first. I did not make up this dish. Mr. Eggs Kejriwal is for real. It happens that this recipe Eggs Kejriwal was invented in Southern Mumbai at the Willingdon Club. Its an egg and chilli cheese sandwich. Its said that there was a man named Devi Prasad Kejriwal who liked eggs but his family were strict vegetarians. Kejriwal was a popular in the club and since he couldn’t get his favorite eggs at home, he had it in the club his way. It was a toast and a fried egg sprinkled with spicy green chillies as he liked spicy food. This Eggs Kejriwal is a little refined version that’s served in most places nowadays which uses cheese and tomatoes. The cheese helps to cut the hit of the green chilli. Come, lets make an awesome breakfast.

Here is the video recipe of Eggs Kejriwal

First, lets make an easy spicy fried salsa for Eggs Kejriwal.
Heat oil in a pan and add in the finely chopped onions and fry for a minute. We don’t need to cook the onions for long. We want to saute the onions for just about a minute to avoid the harsh raw bite. So a minute is more than enough. Add in the tomatoes, chopped chillies, pepper powder and the salt. Fry for 15-20 seconds and switch off the flame. Add in the chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Set aside.

Next, the fried eggs for Eggs Kejriwal. This is how to do an easy fried egg. I got a neat tip for eggs that holds its shape. Cut an onion ring about half inch high. Place it on the pan that’s been heating on low flame. Break the eggs into the ring. If you are like me, little spillage will happen. Never mind. I am no Ina Garten. So I just let it go. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and cover it with a lid and cook on low flame for 2 minutes. I like my eggs runny. If you want to fully cook your eggs, then turn it over and cook for a minute more. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.

When the eggs are cooking, gently toast the buns with some butter. Set aside. If you want your cheese on the bun to be melted, then add a slice of cheese to the bun when toasting and cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds. The steam inside will melt the cheese.
