Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces eggs

Instructions
 

  • Heat 3 tbsp of butter in a pan over a medium flame. When the butter melts, put in 2 pieces onions (medium size, chopped) and sauté for about 2 minutes until they turn soft.

  • At this stage, pour the whisked egg to the masala. Mix well. Let it cook over a medium flame just for a minute or so.
  • Finally, add 2 tbsp of finely chopped coriander leaves to it. Mix everything nicely. Stir continuously until it is dry.
  • Check the doneness of the egg bhurji. Transfer it to a plate.
  • Your tasty and spicy homemade egg bhurji is now ready to enjoy. Serve it hot along with double roti, plain roti, paratha, or bread slices.

Notes

I have made this bhurji in butter, but you can make it in cooking oil or ghee (clarified butter), if you want.
Adding salt after tomatoes helps make the tomatoes softer and cook faster.
Adding finely chopped ginger rather than its paste form offers a unique taste in every bite.
I have used Maggi masala powder in the recipe. If you want, you can use Maggie chicken cubes or vegetable cubes in their place.
