Egg

To increase egg production, farmers often deprive hens of food for seven to 14 days and water for up to two days. This practice is called ‘forced moulting’. Moulting is a natural process of feather loss and regrowth. Because egg production increases after moulting, hens commonly have the process artificially induced.

Description

For most of us Indians, eggs are no big deal. We have grown up with them in some form or the other: as ande ki bhurji, as masala omelettes, even as the boiled eggs in mutton curries and biryanis.

Some dishes contain more than one iteration of eggs: an omelette called lapeti is filled with boiled egg shredded as finely as cheese; for the Lava Pulav, an omelette is left unfolded and topped with a volcano-like mound of turmeric-steamed basmati rice and shredded egg, a ladle of tomato sauce spooned into the middle.
