Indian scrambled eggs, spicy and loaded with veggies. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or pairs well with rotis or a sandwich filling.
I would say it is one of the Mumbai’s famous and fast selling foods when it comes to street corners and food stalls. It is also called as Anda bhurji, scrambled eggs, Bhurji pav. This will stand out of all the dishes on your dining table. I used colorful peppers to make it look more beautiful.
It has onions, ginger, tomato, green chillis and green red peppers. You can even use peas in these. I have used pav bhaji masala in this recipe. Pav bhaji is a popular Indian chat food in India and this masala is used in this recipe. You can get this masala at any Indian grocery stores. You can replace 2 tsp of pav bhaji masala with 1:1 Red chilli powder and garam masala powder.
It is so easy to make these. And as I always say, eggs are saviors if you don’t have anything or lazy to make a time consuming dinner. They serve best when had in the breakfast. Very healthy! You can also have them with rice and some curry. Or just have it as a snack in the evening with some tea. You can also place them in pita or taco or have it in a sandwich filling.

I love indian food! It so flavourful! It really looks good!
thank u 🙂 so much!!!!!
I must get to the store and get the ingredients. I’m so excited to make this!!
Hello Angie 🙂 Do try and let me know how it turns out!
When I visited my husband in Brunei one of the best places I ate was at a tiny family owned Indian restaurant. Looking at your dish I miss their food. It was the best indian restaurant that I had ever eat.
🙂 yeah i know ! many tiny places hold great food! 🙂
This sounds so delicious! I’d love it for lunch right now. 🙂
Thank you Terasa :)!
This recipe is great, however, it calls for way too much salt. The finished dish tastes like Indian street food… and then a strong salt after taste. I would change the 1tbsp to 1/2tsp or less. Great otherwise!
Ah. sure. Will try to do this recipe again and check 🙂 Thank you
