Akha Masoor with Anda (Whole Brown Lentils with Egg) is a protein-packed, smoky, and deeply comforting dish popular in Kolhapur and across Maharashtra. It’s essentially a spicy lentil curry topped with fried or boiled eggs.

Preparation
​1. Cook the Lentils
​Pressure cook the soaked masoor dal with 2.5 cups of water, a pinch of salt, and a half-teaspoon of turmeric.
​Time: Usually 3–4 whistles. You want them soft but not turned into mush.
​2. ​While the dal cooks, peel your boiled eggs.
​
Prick them with a fork or make small slits. Sauté them in a pan with a pinch of haldi powder for 2 minutes until the skin gets slightly crispy and golden. Set aside.

​3. The Masala Base
​Heat oil/ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add cumin seeds, dry red chilli,
​Add onions and sauté until deep golden brown (this is where the flavor lives).
​Stir in the green chilies; sauté for another minute.
​Add the tomatoes and all pudina, coriander. Cook fora while.

​4. Combine and Simmer
​Pour the cooked dal into the masala. Adjust the consistency with a little hot water if it’s too thick.
​Gently slide in the sautéed eggs.
​Sprinkle garam masala and a handful of fresh coriander.
​Cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes so the eggs absorb the spicy gravy.

​Serving Suggestion
​This dish is best served hot with Jeera Rice or buttery Pav (bread rolls). A side of sliced onions with a squeeze of lime really cuts through the richness.
