Egg Bhurji: A Spicy Scrambled Egg Delight

Egg bhurji is a popular Indian dish made with scrambled eggs, onions, tomatoes, and spices. It is a quick and easy breakfast or dinner option that is packed with protein and flavor. This dish is incredibly versatile and can be customized to your liking. You can adjust the level of spice, add vegetables, or even include meats like chicken or sausage.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt until frothy. This step is optional, but it will help to create a fluffier bhurji.
2. Heat the oil: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then, add the chopped onions and green chilies (if using). Saute until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the spices: Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala powder. Stir to coat the onions and cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are softened and mushy, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and scramble them gently until they are cooked through to your desired doneness. Be careful not to overcook the eggs, as they will become tough.
6. Season and garnish: Season the bhurji with salt to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with roti, paratha, or naan.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of butter to the pan along with the oil.
• If you like your bhurji to be more moist, you can add a splash of water or milk before adding the eggs.
• You can add other vegetables to your bhurji, such as chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
• If you are vegetarian, you can substitute tofu for the eggs.
• Egg bhurji can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
