What is Bihari styled Egg pouch?

Bihari-styled egg pouch, also known as Bihari-styled egg poach, is a dish exclusively located in Bihar. This delicious egg recipe got its name from the English dish, poached egg. Are you wondering why a Bihar dish is named after a Western dish? Well, that is because most people consider a Bihari-styled egg pouch to be the Indian version of a poached egg. Does that mean both of them are the same? Absolutely not; that means the consistency of both these dishes is somewhat similar. Well, do you want to know exactly how a poached egg differs from a Bihari-styled egg pouch? Then let’s dive right into it.

The difference between a Poached egg and a Bihari-styled egg pouch

Egg poach, and egg pouch will sound very similar to each other. But, the major difference between both of these eggs is in their method of preparation. Both these eggs are cooked outside their shells. But while the poached egg is cooked through the methods of simmering or boiling, which will create delicately cooked eggs, the Biharian-styled egg pouch is prepared through the frying method. Yes, that is the only difference between both them.

Both eggs have a solid outer part, which is the white portion of the egg, combined with an oozy and creamy inside, which is the yellow yolk. But, there is a slight difference in the texture of the white outer portion of the eggs in both of these dishes. While the poached egg will have a slightly solid, silky smooth textured egg white, the Biharian-styled egg pouch will have a crispy and fried exterior. Now, let’s see how one can prepare this Biharian street delicacy.
