About Egg
A whole hen's egg is eaten across India as anda bhurji, a boiled egg at breakfast or an omelette folded into a roll.
- The raw row is the egg as cracked, white and yolk together; boiling barely changes the numbers because nothing is added.
- An omelette row includes the fat used in the pan, which is why its fat line sits above the raw egg.
