WINNING ENTRY 1:
Poetry-par-Eedu!
By Meherzad Karanjia

What is common between
Sali, vaingnu and bheedu?
Why, they all go so well
With our good ol’ Eedu!

Siddhu nai gamey,
Toh kari leo udhu;
Till the white goes brown
And the yellow is not dhilu!

When you were small,
Raw egg ne naak band kari ne peedhu’
Motta thai gaya toh
Boiled egg whisky sathe lidhu!
Egg is best for everyone,
Evu doctor saheb aye kidhu!!

Even aapri Freni ay Jal ne
Panva ni pehla aj kai didhu:
“If you truly love me,
Daily make me Sali-par-eedu!”

If breakfast was served without scrambled eggs,
Aapri Rani pan “na” kai deti khava,
Fried, Poached, Akuri or Omlette –
Eedu is the birthright of the Bawa!

SPECIAL MENTION 1:
**‘Egg’stra-Special Mumbai Shhtyle Eedu
*By Mithra Jamshed Patrawala***

This recipe is for our young ones who always want ‘something different’! So, here’s an Eedu with a twist – absolutely MUMBAI SHHTYLE!

Ingredients:
Eggs – 3-4; Chicken Salami Slices – 3-4; Onion – 1 small, finely chopped; Tomato – 1 finely chopped; Garlic – 2 cloves, finely chopped; Coriander – handful, finely chopped; Cheese – 1 cube; Salt to taste; Mixed herbs; Butter for sauté; Aloo Bhujia or Nylon Sev

Method:
In a medium sized pan, melt a spoon-full of butter and sauté the chicken salami. Chop into small pieces and keep aside. Now whip 3-4 eggs, add salt to taste and spread it onto the frying pan on low heat. Immediately sprinkle finely chopped onions, tomatoes, salami, garlic and coriander over the egg. Sprinkle half teaspoon mixed herbs on them. Shut the lid till the eggs are nearly cooked (still not set). Now add grated cheese over the egg and shut the lid. After a minute when the cheese has begun to melt, sprinkle either Aloo bhujia or Nylon sev over it. Do not close the lid now or sev will get soggy. Let it cook till well done. Cut like pizza slices and enjoy!!
