Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Prepare the Potato Mixture

    Mash one medium-sized boiled potato thoroughly with a fork until smooth, ensuring no large lumps remain.

  2. Add Bread and Vegetables

    Tear one bread slice into small pieces and add it to the mashed potato. If bread is unavailable, use 2 tablespoons of flour or gram flour instead. Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion and 1/2 chopped green chili.

  3. Season the Mixture

    Add 1/2 teaspoon each of roasted cumin powder, crushed coriander powder, chili flakes, red chili powder, and salt to the potato mixture.

  4. Incorporate Egg White

    Carefully separate the egg white from one egg and add it to the potato mixture. Reserve the egg yolk for later use as a topping.

  5. Mix and Add Green Coriander

    Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and uniform. Then, add some chopped green coriander to the mixture and mix again. The potato mixture is now ready.

  6. Shape and Cook the Toast

    Heat a pan on low flame and lightly grease it with ghee or oil. Place the potato mixture into the pan and gently press and shape it into a square, resembling a bread slice.

  7. Cook First Side

    Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for until the bottom is golden brown and the top appears dry.

  8. Flip and Cook Second Side

    Carefully flip the potato to cook the other side until it also turns golden brown. If needed, grease the pan again with a little ghee or oil.

  9. Add Egg Yolk Topping

    Create a slight indentation in the center of the cooked potato and carefully place the reserved egg yolk into it. Sprinkle some fresh green coriander, black pepper, and a pinch of salt over the egg yolk.

  10. Finish Cooking

    Cover the pan again and cook on low heat for about , or until the egg yolk is cooked to your desired consistency (preferably slightly runny for a juicy texture).

  11. Serve

    Transfer the delicious and healthy potato and egg breakfast to a plate and serve hot.
