Ande di Bhurji

Eggs are the quintessential go to when thinking about breakfast. Fried, baked, poached, scrambled, brambled,….hambled? Make life easier and do an ande di bhurji.

Not being an egg fanatic I quickly find myself getting bored of the generic over easy egg. So, eggs with a kick are always welcomed. Ande di bhurji is perfect for such a want! Despite it being a simple egg scramble it packs in a lot of flavor, freshness, and protein. Not to mention breaks up the routine – top it with some Maggi chili sauce and you’re in heaven.

The western world is unique in that there are such a large number of dishes associated to breakfast and no other meal. Meaning, you don’t traditionally think of eggs benedict when planning out a dinner menu. So, when thinking of breakfast dishes in Indian cuisine, there really aren’t many. There are a few dishes that are breakfast only, such as scrambled eggs, but most dishes are a bit interchangeable between breakfast and lunch. That said, just about anywhere in North India, restaurant or road side stand you’ll see a desi omelette or a desi scramble being sold.

Incredibly fast to make and so tasty. I like to wrap the ande di bhurji in a fresh parantha or even serve it with a side of French toast. Luckily, at the end of the day this is a recipe for scrambled eggs. There isn’t anything terribly complicated or to be cautious of. It’s just a delicious way to add some earthy and fresh flavors to your scramble. So eat, drink, and make merry.
