Egg Bhurji (Spiced Indian Scrambled Eggs) | Anda Bhurji | Quick Egg Recipe

on







 Egg bhurji or Anda bhurji is an Indian version of scrambled eggs. They are made in under 20 minutes, but despite being the easiest egg recipe they are a flavourful, spicy version of scrambled egg. I would say this dish is a life savior for bachelors and busy moms. High on proteins, quick & easy to make! 

 Egg Bhurji is the spiced Indian version of scrambled eggs. It is also called Anda Bhurji. Anda means egg in Hindi. This recipe requires very minimum ingredients available in your kitchen and they become the best side dish for rice, chapati, etc.    

Egg Bhurji was a new dish for me until I tasted this delicious flavourful dish a few years back from my office cafeteria. I quickly became a fan of this dish and just wanted to make it myself. Thanks to google for the recipe. I love to have this dish along with chapati. While making egg bhurji make sure you can a handful of freshly chopped coriander leaves, to enhance all those flavors.   

Egg bhurji is a healthy dish since eggs are a good source of protein and other nutrients. One egg has only 75 calories but 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The egg is a powerhouse of disease-fighting nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin.  And nutritional values aside,  the egg is always our best friend in our kitchen whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. While writing this I remember someone saying "Sunday ho ya Monday..Ros Khavoo Ande.."  

To add some twist I sometimes add a few more ingredients along with the usual recipe. I would love to add peas, corn, chopped carrots, beans, spring onion, or mushrooms. These veggies added might give an extra crunch to your bhurji. I highly recommend you try and experiment with these little twists. After all, cooking is an art and we are born artists right haha...
