Egg Bhurji, Indian Scrambled Eggs

Egg bhurji is India’s answer to scrambled eggs, and it is on breakfast tables and street carts all over the country. Spring onion, green chillies, ginger and tomatoes are cooked down with garam masala and black pepper, then the eggs go in.

I add a tablespoon of chilli vinegar for tang. Pile it on toast and eat them together.
