About Boiled Egg Bhurji
Boiled Egg Bhurji is a delicious variation of the classic Indian egg bhurji recipe. Instead of adding raw eggs to the masala, boiled eggs are added. It is a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner dish. Serve it with pav, paratha, or roti. Butter and Oil – Combining these two adds a nice taste to the Bhurji. You can replace butter with oil to make this dish dairy-free. Veggies – I have added the basic veggies such as tomatoes, onions, green chilies, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). You can also add finely chopped bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, etc. Adjust the green chilies as per your taste. Spice Powders – You will need basic spice powders, such as Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. You can also a little garam masala and black pepper powder to enhance the taste of the boiled anda bhurji recipe. Pav Bhaji Masala – This is my secret ingredient to make the best-ever egg bhurji. It makes the bhurji super flavorful. Others – You will also need fresh ginger, garlic, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Heat 2 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
½ cup of chopped onions 2 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
Now, add ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt and cook for another minute. Mash the tomatoes with the back of the ladle while cooking.
1 teaspoon coriander powder ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder 2 teaspoon pav bhaji masala ½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs to the pan and mix well with the masala. Check for salt and add more if needed. Use a large pot. This will prevent the eggs from cracking as they cook. Adding a teaspoon of salt to the water also prevents the eggs from cracking while cooking. Try it, and thank me later. Don’t overcook: The longer you cook the eggs, the tougher the whites will become, and the yolks will start to turn green. Use ice water: This will stop cooking and make the eggs easier to peel.
