Bohra Lasanyo,mince meat, green garlic and fried eggs

Step by step recipe of Bohra lansanyo (layered mince meat, green garlic and fried egg breakfast) with photos of each step.

Lasan is Gujarati word for garlic. Lasanyo is celebrated winter breakfast of dawoodi bohra community. It’s a layered dish with layers of bhuna qeema, finely chopped green garlic and raw organic (desi) eggs. Smoking hot ghee is poured from top to fry the raw eggs. Green garlic is said to give warmth to body in winter so it’s a must eat winter food. Lasanyo can be eaten with roti, bread and karak double roti but bajra roti is traditional match for it like makai roti is a match for sarsoon ka saag.

Traditionally a needle was used to parse the green garlic into very thin strings. This is a very tedious task so many members of family even teenagers would help happily or forcibly; it was like a ritual. The garlic was then chopped skillfully into fine bits; which was in turn wrapped in a paper until used.   Now, many people go straight away chopping green garlic to save time. Chop garlic as soon as it is brought from market and store in an air tight container in fridge. Use it up in a day or two. 

Few dishes are made well with judgement (andaza) than with recipe. So take this recipe as a guide line and adjust it according to your taste.

Step by step  Bohra lasanyo  (green garlic fried mince and eggs)

Mix  cumin powder, salt and pepper with green garlic. (With this step, I set oil for heating in a sauce pan on low heat.)

In a fry pan make a layer of keema, heat it. Add a layer of chopped garlic.

Break eggs on green garlic.

Cook eggs on medium heat only if they are fully cooked. Serve hot. As the eggs cool a bit all oil will be absorbed.
