Egg Bhurji with Peas and Capsicum


Eggs and peas are my favourite ingredients and these two put together in a recipe is my all time favourite. But I never plan purposely to make this dish. Few eggs , a handful of peas and a capsicum are what you need for this dish.This is what is usually left in my fridge after a few days of veggie shopping. So this dish always happens by itself at our home mostly for dinner.

What you will need:

  • Eggs-4
  • Onions- 2 medium sized
  • Tomato- 1
  • Capsicum-1
  • Grean peas- a handful
  • Green chillies-2
  • Ginger garlic paste- 1 tsp
  • Chilli powder- 1 tsp
  • Garam masala powder- 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
  • Oil- 1 tbsp
  • Cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
  • Kasuri methi- 1 tsp
  • Coriander leaves- 2 tbsp chopped
  • Salt- as needed

How to:

1. Heat oil in kadai. Add cumin seeds, let it splutter. Add finely chopped onions and greeen chillies. Let it get fried for 2 mins. Add ginger garlic paste. 

 

2. When the raw smell of ginger garlic paste leaves, add finely chopped capsicum, let it fry for two mins. Add finely chopped tomato. Add turmeric, chilli, garam masala powder and salt. Mix well and let it cook till tomato turns mushy.

 

3. When the tomato turns mushy, add green peas ,mix well and add 1/4 cup of water. Cover kadai with lid and cook till peas are cooked and water gets dried up.

 

4. When the peas are cooked well , break open the eggs and pour into kadai. Mix well and and add crushed kasuri methi. Let the eggs cook and add corainder leaves and switch off.

 

You can have it along with rotis or plain bread .



P.S:

  • You can replace eggs with crumbled paneer and make paneer bhurji in the same way.
  • You can skip peas and make it plain egg bhurji.
