Egg Bhurji Recipe

Indian style scrambled eggs recipe

This is an amazingly simple scrambled eggs recipe you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The sweetness of onions adds all the magic. My friend Shani ate this with ketchup when I made this for her. You can pair this with any of your favorite condiments or make it a little spicier to enjoy this on its own. Lightly toasted bread with salted butter and a hot cup of ginger-chai is also an amazing thing to pair this with.

Ingredients:

4 large eggs
1 1/2 tbsp ghee or butter(preferred)
2 medium yellow or sweet(preferred) onions, finely chopped
2 tsp green chili, chopped
1 1/2 tsp finely grated ginger
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
salt to taste

5 simple ingredients

Method:

1. In a semi-deep pan, heat ghee on a medium flame.

2. Add onions and sweat them until they are just translucent.

3. Add chopped green peppers and ginger. Cook for about a minute. Add salt.

4. Spread the onions evenly in the pan and break eggs one by one in the pan to cover the onions.

5. Cover and let the egg whites cook, for about 3-4mins on a low flame.

   

   (After 3 mins, cooked egg whites will look something like this. I used my Always Pan today)

6. Remove the lid, turn up the flame to medium-high. Scramble the eggs and mix everything well. Cook for 3 more mins without the lid.

7. Turn off the heat, garnish with cilantro and serve warm.

Notes:

1. I usually prefer double the amount of green peppers than mentioned above. Jalapeños work well with this recipe.

2. Be careful with the salt, start with less and adjust later.

3. Cast Iron Skillet, Always.
