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

1. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder and a tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Continue to cook, gently scrambling until the eggs are cooked through but still slightly moist. Be careful not to overcook them.
6. Stir in the remaining chopped cilantro and garam masala. Mix well and cook for another minute.
7. While the bhurji is cooking, heat paratha on a skillet or tawa according to package instructions until golden brown and flaky on both sides.
8. Serve the egg bhurji hot with paratha. Optionally, serve with a side of yogurt or pickle.
