Parsi Wafer Par Eedu (Eggs on Potato Chips)

Parsi Wafer Par Eedu is a wonderfully simple, comforting and delicious traditional Parsi egg dish that proves you don't need fancy ingredients to create something truly special. Made with crispy potato wafers (potato chips), eggs, juicy tomatoes and fresh coriander, this humble Parsi recipe comes together beautifully for a quick and satisfying breakfast, brunch or light meal.

Today's recipe is one of my Parsi culture's best! Why? Because it contains two things all Parsis love - eggs and wafers! (That is potato chips or crisps for everyone else.) The word “Par Eedu” means “eggs on top”, and this much-loved style of Parsi cooking is all about layering simple ingredients with plenty of flavour.

Parsi Wafer Par Eedu is simple, quick, humble and delicious comfort food! While in the west potato chips are just something eaten as a snack, here they are an integral part of the dish, adding a wonderfully crispy texture, salty flavour and provide a delicious base for the fresh chilli, sweet tomato, aromatic coriander/cilantro and wholesome egg that is cooked to perfection on top! Served with some tomato/chilli sauce, it is awesomely good! Pop it into a sandwich with some fresh bread and butter or placed into a soft warm chapatti, it is the ULTIMATE Parsi comfort food!

Parsi Wafer Par Eedu - Parsi Traditions That I Hope Will Last a Lifetime

My grandma passed down this recipe to me, and I remember how she would skillfully prepare this dish with a simple flick of water from her hand into the pan (you'll see what I mean when you read the recipe). It feels somewhat strange to put this dish into a recipe format because I prepare it instinctively, just as she did - and once you get the hang of it, you'll do the same! Although my twins are still young, I look forward to the day they can try this straightforward family recipe that evokes many cherished memories - and I'm eager to create new ones with my boys.
