High Protein Egg Bhurji

Egg Bhurji is the Indian answer to scrambled eggs – but much more flavorful. It uses onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and aromatic spices to transform simple eggs into a protein-packed meal.

Ingredients

• 3 Whole Eggs
• 1 small Onion – Chopped
• 1 small Tomato – Chopped
• 1 Green Chili – Chopped
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
• 1 tsp Oil or Butter
• Coriander leaves
• Salt and Pepper

Instructions

1. Whisk Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk lightly.
2. Sauté Veggies: Heat oil in a non-stick pan. sauté onions and chilies until soft. Add tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Spice it up: Add turmeric and red chili powder. Mix well.
4. Scramble: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir continuously on medium heat. The eggs will start to cook and form soft curds.
5. Finish: Cook until the eggs are set but still moist (bhurji shouldn't be dry). Turn off the heat.
6. Garnish: Top with fresh coriander.
7. Serve: Eat with toasted brown bread or multigrain roti.
