There are so many ways an egg bhurji can be made anywhere from as simple as just scrambling an egg in fried onions. Adding chili powder and not even using ginger garlic paste. Since it is one of the foods that is regularly or often made at home, i got a chance to try many variations of making anda bhurji. I had a readers request for a recipe that can yield bhurji to accompany pav and this one pairs well with pav, bread, plain rice or even roti/ chapathi.

Vegetarians, check this paneer bhurji.

To make egg bhurji recipe, garam masala or pav bhaji masala is used to remove the raw smell of eggs. If you don’t like to use garam masala often or you like the flavor of eggs, you can skip ginger garlic paste and garam masala. I always had a dislike to use tomato for a bhurji, but finally got it right this way and have been making this for a while.

    • Hi Bonnie,
      I haven’t posted it on the blog. sharing here for you.
      Equal amounts of peeled ginger and garlic chopped. Blend them with little oil. I use about 1 tsp oil for half cup each of ginger garlic. Blend until it gets a creamy look. Store in a clean dry glass jar. Keeps good for 1 week to 10 days in refregerator. You can also add little vinegar to prevent the paste from turning green. Hope this helps
