Recipe for making nimroo

The first step

First of all, make sure that the size of the pan is such that if you break as many eggs as you want in it, there will still be about 2 centimeters of empty space on the side of the pan for the oil to collect.

The second step

We pour the necessary amount of oil into the frying pan and wait for the oil to get hot. But the oil should not be too hot to the point of smoking or becoming bad.

The third step

The next step is to break the egg very, very regularly so that the yolk does not mix in the white due to the sudden breaking of the egg.

The fourth step

When throwing the eggs, be aware that the eggs should be transferred into the frying pan from a height neither too low nor too high.

The fifth step

If the throwing distance is too long, the yolk of the egg will break, and we won’t be able to eat the beautiful and delicious half that we expect.

The sixth step

If the distance is too short and because the oil is hot, the egg white will definitely not spread completely, and it will be like a rubber and not be savory.

The seventh step

To transfer the egg to the serving plate, use a spatula or a wide and flat spoon, and then pour some salt and black pepper on the egg to make it tasty, and then serve and enjoy.

Golden tips for having the best Fried Egg

Cast iron cookware can have a safe chemical reaction with egg white and change its color to green. Therefore, try not to use cast iron dishes when cooking Nimroo.

Cook fresh eggs. The best way to test the freshness of an egg is to place it in a container filled with water. Fresh eggs stay at the bottom of the container, while spoiled eggs float.

Breaking the eggs in a small bowl before cooking them is better. Cook it when you are sure it is healthy.

Let your eggs get room temperature: Don’t skip this step because cooking cold eggs will cause your egg yolks to overcook.

For your nimroo to be delicious, you should know that if the egg yolk is too much in the oil, the yolk will harden and have a bad smell. 

After spreading the egg white, try to sprinkle the oil on the yolk from the sides of the pan with a spoon so that the yolk is cooked sufficiently and has a Soft Boiled Egg (asali) state.

Another important point: The more oil the egg white has, the tastier it will be. So remember that the egg yolk should not break, and the white should spread in the oil. You can even drag the hot oil into the egg white with a spoon, provided that the oil does not come close to the yolk.

In terms of the “psychology of colors,” you should also know that the color orange is energizing, and the more orange the egg yolk is, the more it increases appetite.

Having a journey in the history of Fried Egg

Eggs have been a valuable food item since prehistoric times. The history of using eggs is almost parallel to the history of humans using chickens as food.

About 10,000 years ago, at the same time as the agricultural revolution, wild chickens, which have been a tropical species in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent, were domesticated for the purpose of using eggs.

It is said that in ancient times – two or three generations ago – when they wanted to test a girl’s ability to be a housewife, they asked her to make a simple nimroo.

This experiment was quite precise because making a Persian Nimroo is as simple as it is delicate and precise.

Although making nimroo is simple, cooking a good side dish is a good cooking chart.

In our culture, eggs symbolize fertility, and thousands of years ago, Persians used seven colors on eggs during Mehregan and Nowruz.

It is also customary to paint eggs on the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Russians and Armenians also paint eggs and put religious designs on them during religious festivals, ceremonies, and Easter.
There are also many proverbs about eggs in Persian.

Nutritional Value of Egg

Eggs are full of nutrients, vitamins A, D, and B12. Research results show that people who regularly consume eggs have a better immune system.

Many diseases can be cured or eliminated by adding black pepper to eggs. Also, this food causes better muscle building, increases the amount of red blood cells, reduces some eye problems, etc.

Eating nimroo is very useful for women.

The nutritional value of one egg is equivalent to 30 grams of meat (red, chicken, and fish) equivalent to two medium pieces of stew, half a glass of cooked beans, a quarter of a glass of raw beans, and a quarter of a glass of nuts such as almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, and walnut.

Eggs are a unique food rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins needed by the body, the lack of which causes various diseases, including mental, skin, and eye diseases.
