Garnish and Serve
Increase the number of green chillies or add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the other spices.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or cashew paste at the end of cooking for a richer, creamier gravy.
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped capsicum (bell pepper) along with the onions for extra flavor and texture.
For a non-vegetarian twist, add 1/2 cup of cooked minced chicken or lamb (keema) to the masala before adding the eggs.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Cooked tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases.
The spices used, such as turmeric and chilli powder, contain compounds like curcumin and capsaicin which may help boost metabolism and offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
Anda Ghotala is a popular Indian street food dish, especially famous in Mumbai and Surat. The word 'Ghotala' means 'mess' or 'scramble,' which perfectly describes this dish of scrambled and sunny-side-up eggs cooked in a spicy, mashed onion-tomato gravy.
A single serving of Anda Ghotala, without the pav, contains approximately 450-550 calories. The final count depends on the amount of butter, oil, and cheese used.
Anda Ghotala can be part of a balanced diet. It's very high in protein from the eggs. However, it can also be high in fat and sodium due to the butter and spices. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of butter and oil, skip the cheese, and serve it with whole wheat bread.
Absolutely. You can easily halve the recipe for a smaller portion. Use 2 eggs for scrambling and 2 for the topping to serve one or two people.
While traditionally served with buttered pav, Anda Ghotala is also delicious with roti, paratha, toasted bread slices, or even as a filling for a wrap.
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, especially because of the runny yolks. If you must make it ahead, you can prepare the masala base in advance. When ready to serve, reheat the masala and then cook the eggs.
