Ingredients
- 4 eggs I use organic pasture raised eggs
- 2 tablespoon oil I used avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds (Jeera)
- 1 green chili pepper see notes
- 1 yellow onion large, about 1.5 cups diced
- 1 tomato I used a roma tomato, 0.75 cup
- cilantro to garnish
Spices
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Turmeric (Haldi powder)
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder (dhaniya powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin (Jeera powder)
- 1/2 Red Chili powder (Mirchi powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Break the eggs and add to a bowl. Whisk the eggs well and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and once it’s hot, add oil and cumin seeds. Saute for about 30 seconds until the cumin seeds change color.
- Add onion and green chili pepper. Saute onions for about 5-7 minutes until they become golden brown in color.
- Add tomatoes, spices and mix well. Cover with lid so that the tomatoes soften, for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, scrambling the eggs until cooked. Keep stirring continuously until cooked. Switch off heat.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve with pav, roti or paratha.

Notes
- Variations: You can add bell peppers, green peas or mushrooms to vary the taste of these scrambled eggs.
- Green Chili Pepper: I typically use Thai, Birdeye, or Serrano Chili Pepper in my recipes. Don't forget to adjust to your taste.
- Reduce spice: Skip green chili pepper and reduce red chili powder.
- Saute Onions: You might notice lots of onions in this recipe. Make sure to saute them well till they are golden in color.
- Tomato: Some people don't like tomatoes in their egg bhurji. The reason is that it can sometimes release too much liquid. I suggest using a small amount of Roma tomatoes, which do not release as much water.
- Whisk the eggs: Make sure to break the eggs in a bowl and whisk them before adding to the pan.
- Keep Stirring: Once you add the whisked eggs, continuously store the bhurji so that the egg scrambles and mixes well with the aromatics.
- If using bell peppers or mushrooms, sauté them along with the onions.
- If adding frozen green peas, add them along with the tomatoes.
- If using fresh green peas, pre-cook them.
