Assemble and Serve
Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Amul or cheddar cheese at the very end for a gooey, rich texture.
Add 1 cup of cooked minced chicken or mutton to the onion-tomato masala before adding the eggs for a meatier version.
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped capsicum along with the onions to introduce a subtle sweetness and crunch.
Increase the amount of green chillies or add a pinch of black pepper along with the other spices for extra heat.
With two eggs per serving, this dish is packed with high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
Eggs are a natural source of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which support bone health, energy metabolism, and brain function.
The combination of protein from eggs, carbohydrates from the pav, and fats from butter provides a balanced source of sustained energy, making it a perfect meal for any time of day.
In Hindi, 'Ghotala' translates to a scam, mess, or jumble. In the context of this dish, it refers to the mashed and mixed-up texture of the eggs and masala, creating a delicious, unified scramble.
Anda Ghotala can be a part of a balanced diet. It's high in protein from the eggs, but also high in fat and sodium due to the generous use of butter and salt. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of butter, use whole wheat pav, and serve it with a side salad.
A single serving of Anda Ghotala (about 1 portion of the curry, 1 fried egg, and 2 pavs) contains approximately 550-600 calories, depending on the amount of butter used.
While Pav Bhaji Masala provides the authentic taste, you can substitute it in a pinch. Use an equal amount of garam masala mixed with 1/4 tsp of amchur (dry mango powder) for a tangy flavor.
Store the Anda Ghotala curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's best to prepare the fried egg and toast the pav fresh just before serving for the best texture and taste.
Yes, you can use a neutral oil like sunflower or canola oil. However, butter is highly recommended as it imparts the signature rich and savory flavor characteristic of Mumbai street food.
