Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 2–3 green chilies, chopped
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1½ tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp oil or butter
  • Handful of fresh coriander, chopped
  • Optional: A pinch of garam masala, butter on top

Instructions

  • Sizzle the Base
  • Heat oil or butter in a kadhai. Add onions + green chilies. Fry on high till golden.
  • Add ginger-garlic paste. Stir like you’re in a rush.
  • Add the Drama
  • Toss in tomatoes, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Cook till tomatoes melt and the whole thing smells like a dhaba.
  • Now, Break and Scramble
  • Crack in the eggs. Let them sit 5 seconds. Then stir like a boss.
  • Don’t overmix into mush. Let it stay a little chunky, a little crispy.
  • Final Bhurji Swag
  • Add garam masala (if using). Top with coriander.
  • Turn off heat, let it rest for a minute.
