The word nargisi is a derivative of the word nargis, which means “daffodil.” Daffodils are beautiful, with sunshine-yellow centers and spikey white petals–a color combination that is revealed when the eggs are cut in half! This is an Awadi dish from Lucknow, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Awadh has been greatly influenced by Mughal cooking.
