📖 Recipe Card
Egg Bhurji Recipe Step by Step
1.Crack open 3 eggs in a bowl. I always crack the eggs in a bowl even if its to be added as such without mixing, as if we directly crack open it in the pan and incase if any one egg also gets spoilt then the whole dish gets wasted. 2.Add little salt and beat it well using a fork, Set aside. 3.Heat 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon butter. 4.Let it melt – Now add 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds let it crackle then add 1 teaspoon garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 green chilli all finely chopped. 5.Give a quick saute. 6.Add 1 small sized onion finely chopped along with required salt.Keep a note that we have added salt in eggs also. 7.Saute until onions turn golden. 8.Add 1 small tomato, 2 tablespoon capsicum both finely chopped. 9.Saute for 2-3 mins or until the raw smell of tomatoes leave. 10.Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder and 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder. 11.Saute for a minute do not burn the masalas, push the mixture to the side of the pan. 12.Add egg mixture. 13.Scramble it well – soft or hard scramble it is purely your choice. 14.Keep scrambling. 15.I made it inbetween soft and hard scramble. When the eggs become firm mix it with the masala. 16.Now finally add 1 tablespoon coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and switch off. 17.Give a quick mix and remove from flame and transfer to a serving bowl to avoid further cooking. Egg Bhurji is ready.
Expert Tips
Always crack open the eggs in a separate bowl. If you break all eggs directly in the pan and incase if one of your egg turns out to be spoilt the whole dish itself will be spoilt. Make sure to use a heavy bottomed pan or kadai as egg sticks while scrambling. The base of the pan should be thick – I used my cast iron skillet. The recipe can be doubled, tripled as per your preference. While scrambling if you like soft scramble then you can stop when its slightly goey and proceed with the steps. If you like it hard and toasty then scramble and cook for 2 more mins. I made it in between as thats how we like it. You can even add a pinch of pav bhaji or chana masala powder. Adjust spice powders according to your taste.
Variations
You can use country eggs or regular white eggs as per your choice. Add masala powders as per your liking, you can even add roasted jeera powder and skip jeera while tempering. Add 1/2 teaspoon chat masala powder for that extra zing. Add curry leaves while tempering for more flavour. Add extra 1 green chilli if you like spicy egg bhurji.
Serving & Storing Suggestion
Egg Bhurji goes well with rice, roti etc. This Egg Bhurji can be used as a filling for sandwiches, rolls etc. Eggs when cooked are meant to be consumed fresh so I do not recommend storing and consuming.
