Disco Anda Fry

I believe street food has been a great leveler in India!!
You would find people cutting across all caste, creed,religion sipping on tea at any tea-stall or devouring vada-pav on vada-pav stalls.These street food vendors can be seen anywhere and everywhere, however each of these vendors specialise in some very specific food preparations that they make. And if you thought that food innovation is best left to professional chefs, then you are wrong! These tapri walas of India are masters of variations too!!!

Indian street food culture is as vibrant and diverse as the food culture that has existed in the traditional Indian household kitchens. Street food resembles the culture of the state, or region to which it belongs. Street foods of each of these states have set a distinction of its own. Kothu Parotta of Chennai, Tunday Kabab of Lucknow, Litti-Chokha of Bihar, Chole Kulche of Delhi and Vada-Pav of Mumbai each of these preparations are hugely popular in these states

This recipe is our tribute to Indian street food. I have picked up this egg preparation “Disco Anda Fry” by observing the street vendors in Mumbai. I have taken the liberty to make some slight modifications, but rest assured you would get the same taste that you would get on streets.
