As some of you may have read, I have way too many eggs in my fridge. 
So, I wanted to make this Hyderabadi breakfast dish, but I don’t really remember it’s name properly. Something Anda ka kajana?
Does someone know what I’m talking about? If so, please share your recipe.
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
Is this some kind of trap to lure khatti in?
are you talking about ande ka halwa?
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
YES it is
And, nope it’s not anda halwa. It’s supposed to have lots of onions and masala and you’re not supposed to whisk the egg before putting it in or something. And that’s all the details I know 
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
You rang??? 
You’re talking about “Khagina”
It’s basically just eggs scrambled with harri mirchi, pyaz & hara dhaniya!
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
Just slice your onions thin, and start to saute/brown them in oil…in a seperate bowl, crack your eggs and add namak, haldi, lal mirchi powder, sliced harri mirchi, hara dhaniya, (some people add the dried red chilis too) and a chutki of dhaniya powder…whisk it up, and then add it to your onions and just scramble away!!!
Best served with fresh hot parathas!!! 
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
oh you were talking about khagina…
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
I was taught to make khagina a little bit differently.
We don't whisk the eggs separately.....we crack them into the onions and masala directly into the pot and then mix like crazy.....gives it a little bit different texture I suppose......
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
There's another way to make anda khagina as well!
My sister's Hyderabadi in-laws make it the way you lovely ladies have mentioned (the scrambled egg version), but they also make it with boiled eggs. So after boiling the eggs and then doing a rough chop of the eggs, they fry the chopped eggs with namak, haldi, lal mircha, sliced harri mirchi, and harra dhaniya.
It's great both ways.
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
^ Oh, and I had anda khat (anda gravy) the other day with fresh naan - oh, that was delicious Another way to use up the eggs in the fridge.

^That's what Baji was saying too. She said her inlaws (who are Hyderabadi) don't whisk the egg or add any masala to it, but just put it straight into the onion/masala.
Now that I know the term, I Googled it and it seems some recipes also use garlic and ginger.
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
And you have to serve it with meethi daal - oh that is a to die for combination 
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
My Punjabi self has never heard of anda gravy. Must check it out!
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
Did you ever have imli ka khatta with khichri?
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
By that you mean, sweet daal? Never heard of that either
This is the third food item I don’t know in this thread
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
OMG Sehrysh…can I just kidnap you already??? You’re speaking my language gurllll!!! BTW, I have anday ka kat in my recipe thread, with a picture!! (It is a very shortcut, quicky version though! I keep meaning to get the authentic tareekha from my khala ammi/mami!!)
We have a big, fat, hyderabadi family dawat tonight to welcome my newly engaged cousin’s big fat hyderabadi inlaws from chicago 
, can’t wait to get my khaana on!!!
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
Anda gravy is indicator of finished meheman nawazi in our area…
pehle to mehmano ko meat,fish and chicken khilaya jata hai fir uska stay zyada ho to fir use anda and fir daal khilai jaati hai…
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
Our lovely Ms. Khattichic has posted a recipe of her meethi daal in her thread - check it out! It's made of laal masoor ki daal and isn't sweet, rather it's called meethi because it's the opposite of khatti.
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
anday/tamatar ka kat!!! (anda should be sliced in half/quarters for maximum effect though) 
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
I also make it the way Muzna makes it. There isn't much difference to be honest. I think both the ways will probably turn out to be the same. Hyderabadis also put boiled halved eggs in kat and even in meethi daal.
Re: Hyderabadi Folks: Need your help!
khatti…how you gonna have a Hyderabadi dawat and not have me there? 
I so want me some kachay gosht ki biryaniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii with dahi ki chutney
