Worcestershire Sauce 1 tbs. vinegar 1/2 tsp. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. salt 4 tbs. vegetable oil Method Peel and carefully cut away the whites of eggs so that the yolks remain whole.

Add the spices and cook gently for 2 minutes. Add Worcestershire Sauce, vinegar, and sugar and cook 2 minutes more. Add a little water as necessary. Add salt and whites of eggs and blend well. Cook, covered, on low heat, for 5 to 10 minutes. Add yolks of eggs but do not mix, lest the yolks break. Cover and cook 2 or 3 minutes longer before serving with rice, bread or potato.

A classic Zoroastrian dish Tasty, and - unlike many recipes with origins in and around the Indian subcontinent - it doesn't use outlandish ingredients.

Variations Fresh chili peppers will do fine, as will ground chili powder at a pinch (so to speak).  Dried chili seeds will do OK, too.
