Egg Stumbler

Today’s brunch was a Mangalore Street food special - “Egg Stumbler” A tasty Mangalore specialty that can be fixed in a jiffy as a snack or a lazy lunch/dinner😊

It’s a Mangalorean version of scrambled eggs and toast or Baida Akuri on Toast, only spicier and also the toast pieces are added into the scramble. Interesting, hunh!!
