Egg Bhurji

Egg Bhurji is a simple and delicious breakfast or lunch recipe. We can prepare this egg bhurji in different ways. Using onions, chili powder, and turmeric is the most common way of preparing egg bhurji. For masala egg bhurji we need to add tomatoes & gram masala powder. I make this egg bhurji whenever I want to prepare something quick and easy or if I don’t have veggies in my refrigerator.

 Some people add tomatoes. In a bowl, crack open the eggs, add the tomatoes and gently whisk the eggs. Or you can add the tomatoes while sauteing (optional). Here I am not using tomatoes.It usually serves with roti or naan or pav/bread or rice..

Take a bowl of water and gentle drop the eggs into the water. If the egg sinks and lies on its side,it is fresh,if the egg stands, it is less fresh and if ,if the egg floats to the top of water surface,it is stale and should not be eaten.
