#CA26 - Eggs Kejriwal is an iconic dish from South Mumbai since decades. It is named after Late Devi Prasad Kejriwal, a regular at Willingdon Sports Club. He started requesting for this recipe which is a combo of eggs, pav, onion, tomato, cheese, etc.
This dish later became very popular and was included in the menu of that club. Thus, a new recipe was created.

There is an interesting story behind this particular dish. It is said that Mr. Kejriwal was a vegetarian. However, he loved eggs. Hence, on his visits to this particular club, he would request for toasted bread / pav with eggs, cheese, sautéed onion, tomato and green chilies to camouflage the eggs.

At present there are many versions of this Iconic dish. You can customize it according to your preference. It has also become popular in New York where it is served with cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard and few other toppings. Anyway, Eggs Kejriwal, no doubt is a great comfort food, that can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack or any time you wish.
