Egg Bhurji

முட்டை புர்ஜி (Egg Bhurji)

Egg bhurji is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is often confused with scrambled eggs and the Parsi dish akuri. The difference lies in its preparation and addition of sautéed chopped onions, chilies and optional spices. It is usually served with rotis or naan or pav/bread in Mumbai.
This is an easiest recipe that can be easily made by bachelors. Often this is prepared for me by my hubby.
