Ingredients

Spices
  • cumin seeds

    1 teaspoon

  • coriander powder

    1 teaspoon

Vegetables
  • onions

    1 medium

  • bell peppers

    1 medium

  • tomatoes

    2 medium

Eggs and Dairy
  • eggs

    4 large

  • salt

    a pinch


Instructions

  • 1
    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

    This step initiates the cooking process by infusing the oil with the aroma of cumin seeds. It is crucial for the overall flavor of the dish.

  • 2
    Add chopped onions and cook until they are translucent.

    Onions add a sweetness and depth to the dish. Cooking them until they are translucent ensures they blend well with the other ingredients.

  • 3
    Add diced bell peppers and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.

    Bell peppers contribute crunch and flavor. Partially cooking them at this stage ensures they retain some crispiness.

  • 4
    Add chopped tomatoes and cook until the mixture is well combined and the vegetables are tender.

    Tomatoes bring acidity and freshness. Cooking them with the other vegetables creates a harmonious balance of flavors.

  • 5
    Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan, crack in the eggs, and scramble them.

    Scrambling the eggs separately before mixing allows for a fluffy texture. It is essential to not overcook the eggs.

  • 6
    Mix the eggs with the vegetable mixture, add coriander powder, salt, and any other desired spices.

    This final mixing stage is where all the flavors come together. Adjusting the seasoning according to taste is crucial.

    I tried the Vegetable Akuri recipe and found it to be a pleasant and flavorful dish. As a pescatarian who appreciates diverse flavors, I enjoyed the combination of spices and sautéed vegetables with scrambled eggs. The use of cumin seeds and coriander powder added a nice depth to the dish. However, I might consider adding some seafood or substituting eggs with a seafood option in the future to give it a personal twist. Overall, a well-structured recipe that is easy to follow and execute.

    I like this Vegetable Akuri recipe. It's easy to make and has good flavors. I can replace eggs with some other protein if I want. I don't have issues with any ingredients, so it's a good choice for me. I think it would be even better with some potatoes or mushrooms, like in some Polish dishes. The steps make sense and are easy to follow. Overall, a solid 4 stars.

    Upon initial perusal of the Vegetable Akuri recipe, I was struck by the harmonious amalgamation of Parsi spices and sautéed vegetables, which piqued my interest in exploring this novel culinary creation. As a pescatarian with a predilection for Nordic and Japanese cuisine, I must confess that my gastronomic inclinations tend to veer towards more exotic and understated flavors. Nevertheless, I appreciate the simplicity and elegance of this dish. The absence of dairy products is a welcome relief, given my mild lactose intolerance. In terms of preparation, I found the recipe to be straightforward and uncomplicated, with a preparation time of 10-15 minutes and a cooking time of 15-20 minutes. The incorporation of cumin seeds, coriander powder, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and eggs results in a flavorful and nutritious meal. However, I would have preferred a more detailed explanation of the cooking process, as I found the steps to be somewhat perfunctory. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to those seeking a quick and easy meal that is both satisfying and flavorful.

    ¡Este Vegetable Akuri está muy rico! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the flavors in this Parsi spiced egg dish. As a veggie lover, I appreciate that it's meat-free, and the scrambled eggs with sautéed veggies are muy delicioso. The cumin seeds and coriander powder give it a nice warmth, kinda like some of the traditional Mexican dishes I grew up with. I'd def make it again, maybe with some tweaks to make it more 'taco-friendly' 😊. Only downside is I had to be super careful with the ingredients due to my nut allergy, but the recipe seems pretty safe. Overall, muy recomendado!

    I was exited to try this Vegetable Akuri recipe, but unfortunatly it didnt quite fit my usal taste. As a vegetarin who loves tradicional Mexican food, I was expecting somethin with a bit more spice and a diferent kind of flavor profile. This Parsi dish was nice, but it wasnt as bold as I like my food to be. The scrambled eggs with vegetables were cooked just fine, but I think I would have prefered somethin with a bit more kick. Maybe next time I'll try adding some hot sauce to give it that extra somethin. Also, I apreciated that there were no nuts, since I have a alergie.

    A Symphony of Flavors: Vegetable Akuri Wins My Heart I must confess, I approached this Parsi spiced egg recipe with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. As an omnivore with a penchant for exotic flavors, I was eager to see if this Vegetable Akuri would tick all the right boxes. And, I'm delighted to report, it did – with flying colors! The beauty of this dish lies in its masterful balance of flavors and textures. The sautéed onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes create a harmonious medley that provides a delightful contrast to the fluffy, spiced scrambled eggs. The cumin seeds and coriander powder add a warm, aromatic depth that elevates the entire dish. As someone with a mild gluten intolerance, I appreciate that this recipe is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The use of eggs, vegetables, and spices ensures that the dish is not only delicious but also gentle on the stomach. If I were to nitpick, I'd say that the recipe could benefit from a bit more heat – perhaps a dash of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to give it an extra kick. However, this is a minor quibble in what is otherwise a fantastic recipe. In short, Vegetable Akuri is a culinary gem that I'd highly recommend to anyone looking to spice up their breakfast or brunch routine. It's a testament to the power of Parsi cuisine to surprise and delight, even for the most discerning palates. Well done, and I'll be making this again soon!

    Honestly, this Vegetable Akuri recipe was a nice change of pace, but it didn't exactly blow my mind, you know? As a meat-lover, I was a bit skeptical about a spiced egg dish, but I was down to give it a shot. The flavors were on point, I loved the combination of cumin seeds, coriander powder, and the sautéed veggies - it was like a party in my mouth! The scrambled eggs were fluffy and cooked just right, which was a win. But, let's be real, it just wasn't filling enough for me, I mean, where's the meat? I was craving something a bit heartier. Also, I had to make sure to leave out any soy-based ingredients due to my allergy, but the ingredient list looked clear, so that was a relief. Overall, I'd say this recipe was decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again. Maybe if I was vegetarian or something, I'd be all about it, but for me, it's just an okay dish.

    A delightful and nutritious twist on traditional scrambled eggs! As a vegetarian adhering to an Ayurvedic diet, I appreciate the emphasis on balancing flavors and textures in this Vegetable Akuri recipe. The combination of cumin seeds, coriander powder, and sautéed vegetables creates a harmonious and sattvic (pure) dish that aligns with my dietary principles. The use of eggs, however, does pose a minor concern due to my dairy intolerance - I would recommend substituting with a suitable alternative, such as tofu or soy-based scramble. Overall, I commend the recipe's attention to detail and ease of preparation, making it an excellent addition to a health-conscious individual's meal repertoire.

    I like the idea of Vegetable Akuri, a Parsi spiced egg dish. The ingredients and steps seem simple. I wish there was meat in the recipe, like Korean BBQ or Japanese ramen. As I am lactose intolerant, it is good that there is no dairy product in this dish. The instructions appear easy to follow, even for a non-native English speaker like me. Overall, it is a decent recipe, but I might not make it often.

    ¡Excelente receta! 🍳 I was thrilled to try Vegetable Akuri, a Parsi spiced egg dish that sounded fascinating. As a vegetarian, I loved the idea of a flavorful egg dish packed with sautéed veggies 🌟. The recipe was easy to follow, and the steps made sense. I appreciated the emphasis on not overcooking the eggs, which resulted in a fluffy texture 😊. Although I'm a taco and enchilada girl at heart 🌯👌, I enjoyed the unique blend of cumin, coriander, and veggies in this dish. My only suggestion would be to offer some variations or substitutions for specific spices or ingredients to cater to different tastes 🌈. Overall, a delicioso recipe that's definitely worth trying! 👍

    A decent breakfast option, but it's no pasta dish or pizza! I mean, I appreciate the flavors and the effort that went into creating this Vegetable Akuri, but let's be real, it's not exactly the kind of thing that gets my heart racing. The spice level was just right, not too hot, not too bland - a good compromise for someone like me who doesn't do well with super spicy food. That being said, I think I'd make some adjustments to give it a bit more oomph. Maybe add some Italian seasonings? A sprinkle of parmesan? Something to give it that extra je ne sais quoi. Overall, it's a solid 3 stars from me - not bad, not amazing, just...fine.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this Vegetable Akuri recipe, which offered a delightful twist on traditional scrambled eggs. As a vegetarian with a penchant for Indian cuisine, I appreciated the incorporation of cumin seeds and coriander powder, which added a warm, aromatic flavor to the dish. The addition of sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes provided a satisfying crunch and a pop of color. While I would have liked to see paneer or a lactose-free alternative included, the eggs themselves were cooked to a perfect fluffiness. Overall, this recipe was a great find, and I look forward to experimenting with similar Parsi-inspired dishes in the future.
