Egg Bhurji

Origin: IndianPeriod: Traditional

A "bhurji" is a term used to describe a dry-ish masala dish which is just a mixture of stuff in small pieces - e.g. pieces of paneer, Potato etc. A very commonly-eaten bhurji is the egg version - which is effectively a spicy scrambled egg dish - or more accurately is probably best described as a scrambled omelette comprising a masala of eggs, potatoes and onions.

I have to say that this is a really fast dish to knock up - and so we tend to cook this if we've left
