Egg Biryani
- Boil eggs in water. (on low heat, I discovered that hard boiled doesn't necessarily mean on high heat). I used 4 eggs for my required number of servings. Pour cold water, remove shells. Cut in half.
- Finely slice onions. Fry in 1 -2 tsp ghee, with whole cardamom(4 green, 2 black), 1 cinnamon stick, 2 bay leaves torn in halves, about 4-5 cloves and peppercorns. Add your preferred ready-made biryani powder to the mix and a little salt. You can add two slit green chilies here.
- When the onions are about done, place the eggs, albumin side down and continue frying in low heat. Turn once and remove the eggs. (Or else the eggs might break. Doesn't look good)
- I use parboiled or pre-cooked rice . Add in installments while you stir well.
- When the rice is about cooked, add the eggs again. Sprinkle garam masala (preferably made at home) and cilantro leaves.
- Pair it with raita. I enjoyed it with mixed vegetables. You may also prepare a meat dish to go with it.

Pavlova
For Dipanwita Boudi
4 egg whites
Fine sugar
Vinegar
Vanilla essence
Cool whip
Fresh strawberries/other canned or fresh fruits
Method
- Beat egg whites at room temp, add sugar gradually, continue beating
- Add 2 - 3 tsp of white vinegar or lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla essence
- Bake in a pre-heated convectional oven at 450 F for 10 minutes, then at 350 for about 45 mins to 1 hrs.
- When you see the meringue rising, switch off the oven and leave it in the oven for another 30 mins to save it from any temp shock. It's ok if you see cracks.
- Spread cool whip generously, and add fresh fruits like sliced strawberries, blueberries or canned and peeled orange
I added some strawberry preserves on the slice, but that would defeat the purpose if you want it as a low-fat, low-sugar desserts. Also, you can use low-fat cool whip instead of the original if you are counting calories.

Tortilla de patatas in yogurt sauce
This is something my Mom made when I was a kid. Baking makes my job easier.
All you need is:
Here is a recipe for Omelet curry, using the same ingredients, but the eggs and potatoes are used separately.
All you need is:
- Eggs - 5-6, beaten
- Potatoes- small, 2, boiled and mashed
- Green peas (optional)
- Cilantro
- Cumin seeds
- Salt, turmeric
- Onion grated
- Ginger grated
- Garlic grated
- Bay leaves
- Yogurt
- Milk(optional)
- In a small (so it doesn't spread out too thin) baking tray that has some decent height, pour the beaten eggs with mashed potatoes and peas. You can add salt, pepper, a little of the grated onions, garlic powder(or grated), ginger powder(or grated) Bake till it is nice and fluffy. (You can choose to fry this, but why sweat?)Those who like chilies, can add chopped green chillies too. It is good enough to eat now. It is like the Spanish Tortilla de patatas. But let's wait..
- For the sauce, fry cumin and bay leaves, saute a little onion, garlic, ginger. Add yogurt.
- Cut the potato-egg omelet into cubes, add to the sauce. Add cilantro to garnish.
Here is a recipe for Omelet curry, using the same ingredients, but the eggs and potatoes are used separately.

Deviled eggs
Chilled Deviled eggs make great Hors d'œuvre.
Here's a version of my basic deviled eggs.
Ingredients:
5 eggs
1 tablespoon spinach artichoke dip (you can use your preferred salad dressing, mashed potatoes, cheese, mayo, garlic powder)
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch paprika
Directions
Place eggs in saucepan, add salt and water. Cover and bring to boil. Remove from heat, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water and cool.
Peel and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks, combine with dip and salt and pepper. Mix together until smooth.
Refill each egg half with the yolk mixture and sprinkle with paprika.
