Indian style scrambled eggs aka. Anda Bhurji is full of health and deliciousness! High on proteins and really quick to make too! A great breakfast idea!
Anda bhurji is probably India’s answer to the ever famous scrambled eggs. Sautéed onions and tomatoes combined with chillies and other spices, make a delightful high protein breakfast with toast! Or eat it to make a wholesome and delicious lunch or dinner with a parantha.
I have many memories of college days and early working days, standing at the roadside dhabha and eating a super spicy anda bhurji with tandoori rotis and washing it down with a garam chai. This definitely is one of my top favorites in the list of comfort food options for me!
A fellow blogger and a friend told me about adding some coconut milk to the traditional anda bhurgi sometime ago and since I have tried that, I can’t help but do it every time. It just takes the taste of the bhurji to another level!
I love eggs. And I have confessed that several times on the blog. Whether it is a simple omelet or something more exotic like baked eggs in a Mexican cup, I love experimenting with eggs and trying out new things. Eggs are really very versatile. You can eat them raw, add them to a smoothie to increase the protein content, fry them, boil them, poach them, scramble them, bake with them! Oh well, you get the drift right? All I am saying it, how amazing eggs are to cook.
If you have a good tiffin box or can heat up food at work, this anda bhurji makes a great lunchbox option too! It is easy to make in the morning and you can add some additional vegetables like beans and carrots to it, to increase the nutritional value!
