The Indian dish called anda bhurji consists of eggs scrambled with spices and aromatics. We include fresh green chilies and tomatoes in this version, and also mix in some garam masala for warm, subtly sweet spiciness. Ghee, a type of clarified butter with rich, nutty notes, adds to the flavor of the eggs, but neutral oil works, too. For a milder version, remove the seeds from the chilies before chopping. In India, bhurji often is sold by street vendors as a late-night snack, piled on a piece of warm naan or rolled in a paratha, but these eggs are good any time of day.

Tip

Don’t forget to seed the tomatoes or their moisture will make the eggs too wet. Also, be sure to use a nonstick skillet or the eggs will stick to the surface.

I think I need to try again
The flavor of the eggs was very good. I think I may have over-cooked the eggs. They came out on the rubbery side. Ill try again and review again.
