Ekuri is a popular breakfast dish in the northeastern parts of India, particularly in the state of Assam. Usually eaten with plain rice or bread, this dish is made by scrambling eggs with onions, green chilies, and ginger. The addition of fresh cilantro at the end gives it a nice aroma and freshness. Although it is a simple and easy dish, it is full of flavor and can be quite filling.
