Bread Sandwich with Egg Bhurji

Egg bhurji by itself tastes so good. In the form of sandwich it tastes even better. I prepare this for breakfast during weekends. This dish is quite filling and a late lunch will not be a problem. This can make a good snack for children in the lunch box.

Ingredients:
A big bowl of egg bhurji
12 bread slices
Butter

Method:
For the recipe of egg bhurji, visit the recipe here.

Heat the sandwich maker. While the sandwich maker heats up, apply butter to both sides of the bread. Spread a layer of the egg bhurji on one bread slice. Place another slice of bread on the top. If you find the sandwich too thin, repeat the procedure to add a third slice of bread. Now place the sandwich in the sandwich maker to grill it.

If you don’t like it grilled or do not have the sandwich maker, there are two options. You can either eat it plain or fry the slice of bread on both sides on the tava first and then spread the egg bhurji.

Either way serve hot with tea! Enjoy!

Egg Bhurji

Here is another one of my favorites, the egg bhurji or scrambled egg.

In this recipe, I did not use tomatoes as I don’t like the combination of egg and tomato. If you like tomatoes with egg, you can use one tomato in this recipe. This is how I prepare it.

Ingredients:
4 eggs
4 green chillies finely chopped
2 medium onions finely chopped
6-8 garlic cloves finely chopped
½ tsp pepper powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp kitchen king powder (optional)
Coriander leaves for garnishing
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Oil

Method:
Heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the green chillies and the chopped garlic. Fry for a min. Add the chopped onions. Fry the onions till they are translucent if you like them crunchy or till golden brown if you like them really soft and blended.

Once the onion is fried, add the pepper powder, kitchen king powder, turmeric powder and fry for a min. Now break the eggs and add them to the pan. Add the salt. Mix well. Keep mixing on a low flame till the egg is completely cooked.

Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot!!

My fav dish in the Egg category. Simple and easy…

Ingredients:
4 eggs boiled and peeled
3 tsp ghee (clarified butter)
15 cloves of garlic sliced or crushed
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Method:
Heat a pan and add ghee in it. Add the garlic cloves in it. Saute them on low flame till they are golden brown. Cut the egg into elongated halves. Add them to the pan. Sprinkle the salt and pepper. Saute it till the eggs are fried a little on both sides. Serve hot!

Note: Ghee is a must as the combination of ghee and garlic gives it a lovely flavour
