Recipe Name: Anda Bhurji
Cuisine: North Indian
Course: Breakfast
Diet: Eggetarian
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes


Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Eggs 6, beaten
Onion 2, finely chopped
Tomatoes 3, finely chopped
Green Chilies 2, finely chopped
Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
Ghee 2 tbsp
Fresh Coriander (Cilantro) A handful, finely chopped
Milk or Coconut Milk 2 tbsp
Salt To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base:
    Begin by heating ghee in a pan over medium heat. Once the ghee is hot, add the cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for about 10 seconds to release their aromatic fragrance.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables:
    Add the finely chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Stir and cook until the onions become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Cook the Tomatoes:
    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Stir and cook until they soften and blend well with the onions, forming a smooth mixture. This should take another 3-4 minutes.

  4. Add the Eggs:
    Beat the eggs and add them to the pan along with the salt. Stir continuously to ensure that the eggs mix well with the cooked onions and tomatoes. Reduce the flame to low as the eggs begin to set.

  5. Finish the Dish:
    Once the eggs are about 80% cooked, pour in the milk or coconut milk. Stir well and let it cook for another minute until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.

  6. Garnish and Serve:
    Once the Anda Bhurji is cooked to perfection, turn off the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander leaves for a burst of freshness and flavor.


Serving Suggestion:
Serve your Anda Bhurji hot with buttered toast or parathas and a glass of fresh orange juice for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast. This delicious and nutritious dish is perfect for starting your day on a high note.

Enjoy your delightful Anda Bhurji, a true North Indian favorite that’s both flavorful and easy to make!
