Spice Up Your Mornings with Egg Bhurji – Indian Spiced Scrambled Eggs
Tired of the same old scrambled eggs? It's time to kick your breakfast up a notch with Egg Bhurji, a popular Indian dish featuring flavorful, spiced scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp oil or butter
Instructions
- Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl and whisking them lightly with a fork. Set aside.
- Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook for about 30 seconds, or until they start to crackle and release their aroma.
- Add the chopped onion and green chilies, and cook until the onions become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder (if using), and garam masala. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the onion and tomato mixture.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, and season with salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and fold in the chopped fresh cilantro.
- Serve your Egg Bhurji hot with toast, roti, or naan, and enjoy a flavorful, spiced-up breakfast!
