How to serve Egg Bhurji
I love to serve egg Bhurji with warm toasted bread. Apply ghee on both sides of sliced bread and then cook the bread golden-brown on a griddle. The beautiful aroma of melted ghee makes this dish irresistibly appetizing. Bhurji Pav(dinner rolls) coated with melted butter is often served at roadside stalls in many Indian cities.
Eggs - traditionally whole egg is used in this recipe, but you can make it with just egg whites or egg substitute tooOnion - finely diced yellow or red onion along with the white portion of scallionsChilies - Indian green chilies, jalapenos, or serrano peppersGinger and Garlic - fresh ginger and garlic grated or paste Tomato - finely diced tomato adds a tangy flavor Spices - turmeric and garam masala
You can also serve the egg Bhurji with warm whole wheat parathas, or roll it in a roti and pack it for a delicious lunch. We love to enjoy this breakfast with adrak chai, lemon ginger tea, or pomegranate juice!
More Serving Ideas
Serve as a crunchy wrap / Egg Quesadilla! Recently, I tried serving the egg Bhurji as a wrap quesadilla after following the #wraphack trend on Instagram. Here are the steps or check out this egg bhurji wrap video for details:
Tips
Indian green chilies can be substituted with minced serrano or jalapenos. For a less spicy version simply skip the green chili or add the mild Kashmiri red chili powder for an equally delicious Indian scrambled egg curry. For a gluten-free meal, use either gluten-free bread or roll-in gluten-free tortilla wraps. Siete Foods makes great GF wraps. Many people don’t like the taste of cilantro. In that case, skip the garnish or use your favorite herb as a garnish.
Storing
Make a double batch of Egg Bhurji and refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 5 days. To warm, simply microwave and enjoy. Did you enjoy this recipe? Here are some of my favorite Indian breakfast recipes to try:
