Eggs Kejriwal. Totally legendary in Mumbai Clubs.No ,not the nightclubs or the pubs and restrobars ,but the staid old world type clubs that dot Mumbai.So totally not related to Mr Arvind Kejriwal, the CM of Delhi. Thank God! We would have had a lot of drama on our plates and a Muffler or two for company otherwise. Eggs Kejriwal A Perfectly Unhealthy BreakfastThè story begins with morning walks and breakfast at our club by the seaside. My first walk and I was stumped by the menu...while they serve a mean tea ,they had Eggs Kejriwal as a highly recommended option for breakfast. Eggs Kejriwal A Perfectly Unhealthy BreakfastSweet Child refused outright, not wanting to have any thing to do with a comical character who held Delhi to Ransom because of his ambitions. So the query began , wherin one old waiter told us that this dish originated thanks to a Marwari gentleman, whose home was sanctified and no eggs were ever allowed. Not satisfied, we googled and found that to be true.According to Saaransh Goila , Willington Club catered to his desires and his way of eating eggs quite took the fancy of many others. So today...oour Propah USI Club also caters for Eggs Kejriwal.

Place a frying pan to heat. I use my iron tawa or griddle as it makes the best eggs.

The butter will sear and sizzle ,and the bread will fry and not toast.Season the egg with the salt pepper etc and sprinkle the chopped veggies on the egg.Eggs Kejriwal A Perfectly Unhealthy BreakfastOnce you are happy with the almost crisp bread ,place it on a steel plate, layer the cheese and then top with the egg.Eggs Kejriwal A Perfectly Unhealthy BreakfastPlace this platter under the grill for a minute so that the cheese melts and the egg cooks a bit.The  second egg?Repeat. Eggs Kejriwal A Perfectly Unhealthy BreakfastLike so.
Sit down with your #EggsKejriwal and a cup of hot tea as they serve in clubs,adnd your morning newspapers and let no one come between this cheesy ,greasy heavenly plate of eggs.

Can you start your day in a better way?Subsequent #EggsKejriwal are topped with some more grated cheese on the yolk so as to allow it to melt on the yolk and onions and tomatoes and cut green chillies. 
Totally Disgustingly Unhealthy. But we wouldn't have them any other ways.
Sweet Child trudges 3 kms Sunday  mornings just for that greasy offering of a name he refuses to take. I double the walk for a couple of bites.
So what are you baking today???
