Egg Bhurji Recipe

Egg Bhurji is the Indian version of scrambled eggs with spices, onions and coriander. It is also known as Anda Bhurji. Anda means Egg in Gujarati.

This is a quick and easy recipe and it can be served alongside a piping hot Masala Chai.

Ingredients in Egg Bhurji Recipe

This delicious Anda Bhurji recipe has basic store cupboard ingredients plus some Indian staples:

  • Oil
  • Ghee
  • Cumin Seeds
  • Onions - Red or White
  • Tomatoes - Fresh or Pureed 
  • Green Chillies
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Coriander
  • Pav Bhaji Masala/King Kebab Masala or Garam Masala (Optional)
  • Spices - Turmeric, Coriander, Chilli
  • Eggs
  • Salt
  • Pepper

How to make Egg Bhurji 

Whisk the Eggs in a bowl and set aside. 

Heat oil and ghee in a large pan and add cumin. Oven it sizzles, add the Onion & Green Chillies (which I clearly forgot to add here) and cook till softened.

Cumin Seeds with Oil and Ghee in pan

Chopped onions added to pan

Then add the Garlic & Ginger and saute for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

How to serve Egg Bhurji?

Egg Bhurji is delicious served with Pav (Bun), Toast, Roti, Paratha or Puri.

Storage Suggestions

I would not suggest storing these. They are best eaten fresh. However some people do make these ahead and they keep for 2 - 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. They can get a little dry though so reheat with butter.

Variations - Egg Bhurji Recipe

  • Adjust spices according to your taste.
  • Use 2 tablespoons of Rose Harissa for a truly delicious variation.
  • For an easier version - whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl minus the Oil and Ghee. Then scramble in hot Oil/Ghee.

Top tips for Egg Bhurji Recipe

  • Add a tablespoon or 2 of Pav Bhaji Masala. If you can't find either, use a little Garam Masala.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of Milk for fluffy Eggs.
  • Don't skimp on Ghee or Butter!
  • Scramble the eggs gently for 2 - 3 minutes for soft curds. Don't over cook them!
