    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.

    Garlic and Ginger added to pan

    Stir in Tomatoes, and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 - 6 minutes.

    Add whisked Eggs, Turmeric, Red Chilli, Coriander Powder, Pav Bhaji Masala, Salt and Pepper and scramble gently for 2 minutes.

    Eggs, dry spices and cooked tomato in pan

    Garnish with chopped Coriander and continue to cook for another minute.

    Stir through Butter and remove from the heat.

    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 or Kitchen King Masala. If you can't find either, use a little Garam Masala.
    • Add 1 tbsp 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!
