I had gone to Goa to celebrate my birthday and we randomly bumped into this restaurant through Zomato suggestions called Cafe Bodega. I always like to experiment with new egg preparations and hence ordered Turkish eggs. The first bite of Turkish eggs and I went “Oh my god”. The garlic-flavored Greek yogurt and the smooth rich runny poached egg backed by the punch of the chili oil catapulted Turkish eggs right in my top egg dishes list. As easy as Turkish eggs looks, it is pretty technical to execute and might take a couple of attempts before you get the perfect Turkish eggs. But I can vouch that they are worth the efforts!
