A long work week is rewarded by a good Sunday Family Brunch. The last brunch was no different from the ones we’ve had before. There was laughter, drama, warm winter sun and delicious food. The star dish was the Egg Kebabs my mum (Anjali Aruldas) made. Mum has the innate talent to weave magic into the humblest of ingredients. This humble egg was turned into a star. Hands down one of the best dishes I’ve tasted in a long time. Crispy on the outside, silky firm egg white finished with rich creamy and buttery yolk masala in the middle.
And the only way to enjoy it is to load the kebab with dipping sauce and take a big gluttonous bite. I did just that, it was a party in my mouth. Sweetness from the breadcrumbs, spicy yolk masala, tangy sauce, crisp outer coat and the egg white all balanced out beautifully to create this lipsmackingly delicious entrée’. From my mum to me to you and many more…here’s the recipe for Delicious Egg Kebab. To be enjoyed at all family brunches….
