Egg Bhurji
Looking for a fresh new way to prepare breakfast eggs? Try this recipe for egg bhurji - a deliciously fragrant variation on scrambled eggs! I first discovered this dish during my early trips to India, and I love the warming spice flavours that come from the addition of cumin and garam masala. The use of tomatoes also draws memories of the chinese-style tomato egg, and together it adds up to be a very satisfying way to start any day.
