Egg Bhurji with Paratha
Spiced scrambled eggs (bhurji) served with flaky paratha, a classic Indian breakfast.
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1-2, finely chopped (adjust to spice preference) Green chilies
- 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 2-3 tbsp, chopped Cilantro
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp (adjust to spice preference) Red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp Garam masala
- 1/4 tsp Cumin powder
- To taste Salt
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil or ghee
- 2 Frozen Paratha
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder and a tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Set aside.
- Heat oil or ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions are translucent and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the mixture starts to come together, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit for a few seconds to slightly set before gently scrambling with a spatula.
- Continue to cook, gently scrambling until the eggs are cooked through but still slightly moist. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Stir in the remaining chopped cilantro and garam masala. Mix well and cook for another minute.
- While the bhurji is cooking, heat paratha on a skillet or tawa according to package instructions until golden brown and flaky on both sides.
- Serve the egg bhurji hot with paratha. Optionally, serve with a side of yogurt or pickle.
