Anda ka Bhujiya (Indian Style Scrambled Eggs)

Scrambled eggs rolled in with parathas were always a quick and easy go-to for breakfast. It was easy to prepare in a short amount of time for so many kids, and it was substantial!! Along with what we called Tiffin Allu (potatoes), it was a quick fix for lunch on most school days. Some of our friends, tired of their sandwiches, would swap lunch with us, and we would sit and enjoy each other’s meal.

I have also added left-over cooked rice to the eggs as a quick meal. It also tastes great on toast topped with ketchup! My favorite way to have it is with parathas.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes minutes

Total Time 25 minutes minutes

Servings 6

Scrambled eggs rolled in tortillas or parathas, a quick and easy go-to snack. Also perfect for egg wraps!

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• ½ medium onion (yellow or red)
• 1 Serrano chili (finely diced, optional)
• 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
• 1 tbsp fresh green coriander (choped)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil (olive or coconut oil)
• ¼ tsp mustard seeds
• ⅛ tsp pepper or cracked pepped powder
• 3 fresh curry leaves (optional, found at Indian grocery stores)
• Salt to taste

Instructions 

• Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add mustard seeds. They will start to splutter. After about 30 seconds, add the curry leaves and the chopped chili. Stir a couple of times and then add the chopped onions and sauté until onions are translucent and start to brown slightly. About 3 minutes.
• Now add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until tomatoes start to lose their moisture.
• Now add the beaten eggs and stir briskly into the tomato-onion mixture.
• Continue cooking until the eggs are cooked and not runny.
• Sprinkle with the chopped coriander and stir a few times.
• Remove pan from heat and spoon into a serving dish.
• Sprinkle with the remaining chopped coriander.
• Serve for breakfast with toast or parathas.

Notes

You can also use all egg whites or one yolk and the rest egg whites. I prefer it with yolks.

For Egg Wraps:

Wrap the scrambled eggs in tortillas that have been lightly sautéed in a frying pan with a little oil.

For parathas:

You can buy a packet of plain ready made parathas at any Indian Grocery Stores. Trader Joe's also sells great Malabar parathas.
