It is a truth universally acknowledged that almost every culture in the world has its own variations of egg. This is certainly true of India, with an almost unsurpassed variety of egg recipes — bhurjee, the inimitable Eggs Kejriwal, masala omelette, and the vast range that the Parsi community offers i.e. poro, akoori, par eeda.

Huevos Rancheros: Here's a classic Mexican breakfast dish that is exceedingly similar to shakshouka. At its core, huevos rancheros is a dish of eggs and tomato salsa, served over corn tortillas.

The names are intriguingly fresh, but the flavours are familiar and comforting — these are the eggs you didn't know you craved.
