Egg Bhurji ( Rustic Indian street food ) with paneer kebabs, mint sauce & coriander dipping sauce.

Egg Bhurji

I had a similar dish whilst away with work in Leeds at an amazing street food restaurant called Bundobust. This authentic restaurant offered quite a large range of street food dishes which took the taste buds to another level. No meat dishes on the menu, loved this concept. They even had their own brewery!! Bonus!!!

I had this dish whilst eating here and it inspired me to try and recreate it. Here below is what I had whilst eating their. It was a meal for two which I shared over a few beers with a work colleague.

Mung bean chatpata, egg bhurji, paneer tikka, bhajis, bundo chaat, tarka dhal & rice plus palak kofta. Mind blowing.

Bundobust meal for two ❤️

Ingredients – 3 eggs, 1/8 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds, 10 curry leaves, 1 red onion finely diced, 1 green chilli diced, 1 tsp of garlic & ginger paste, 1 tomato finely diced, 1/2 tsp of chilli powder, 1 tsp of garam masala, 1 cup of frozen peas & large handful of chopped coriander.

Method – break the eggs into a bowl, add the turmeric & salt then whisk together and sit aside.

Whisked eggs, turmeric & salt.

Heat the oil in a pan, once hot fry off the cumin seeds until they start to pop.

Cumin seeds

As the cumin seeds start to pop, add the diced onion and green chillies, fry off for 5 minutes or so.

Red onions, chilli and cumin seeds

As the onions starts to take a nice colour add the garlic and ginger paste and cook this out for a minute or so.

Garlic and ginger paste added to the flavour party

Once the garlic and ginger paste has cooked out and your kitchen smells great add the diced tomatoes, again cooking these down for a couple of minutes.

Added diced tomatoes

Once the tomatoes have taken on the flavours add your dried spices – chilli powder and garam masala, mixing in the pan so that they take on and coat all the other ingredients.

Dried spices added.

Mix the dried spices well…..

Kitchen smelling great !! No

Once the pan is coated nicely….add your egg mix.

Beautiful egg mix added to the spiced dish

Turn the eggs around the pan as if you were making scrambled eggs.

Eggs mixed well in the pan.

The more you mix the more the eggs scramble which is the desired outcome you want.

Beautiful, taking on its shape ❤️

Once you’re happy with your scrambled spice eggs add the frozen peas ….

I made some paneer kebabs so accompany the egg Bhurji.
