Aditi Rao Hydari's Hyderbadi Khagina is easy and quick to prepare. With spicy flavours, it's perfect for lazy yet grand breakfast days. 

Eggs are a breakfast favourite. They can be prepared in a variety of ways, from boiled and scrambled to sunny side up. Packed with protein, eggs are a great start, providing energy for the day ahead. Aditi Rao Hydari has shared a recipe for a Hyderabadi breakfast that includes a mouth-watering, spicy rendition of sunny-side-up eggs. The flavours are decadent, as the dish has onions, garlic, and spices. The eggs are not whisked or beaten, so they retain the shape of the yolk, but the yolk is not runny.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR
    Adrija Dey

    Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
