Anda Bhurji (Scrambled Eggs)

egg bhurji
Egg Bhurji or Anda Bhurji is an Indian recipe of scrambled eggs with veggies like capsicum/green bell pepper, green peas, tomatoes. An easy and quick fix on a busy day.

Ingredients:
Eggs - 4
Onion - 1 medium
Capsicum/Bell Pepper - 1 big
Green Chilly Paste - 1/2 tsp
Coriander/Cilantro leaves - few sprigs
Cumin/Jeera seeds - 1 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tbsp
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt

How to cook Indian Egg Bhurji:
  • Finely chop onions, capsicum and cilantro. I used a combination of yellow, green and red capsicum.
  • Heat about 1 tbsp oil in a kadhai/wok and add cumin seeds, ginger garlic paste and green chili paste. You can use finely chopped ginger, garlic and green chilies instead of paste. Sauté for few seconds. Then add finely chopped onions and little salt.
  • After onions turn soft, add chopped capsicum. Stir-fry till capsicum is cooked. You can add any other veggies like cabbage, green peas along with capsicum.  
  • Crack the egg shells and add eggs in a bowl. Add little salt, black pepper powder to the eggs and beat well. Pour the whisked eggs in the wok. Continue cooking while stirring till eggs are cooked and moisture is lost. You can add 1/4 tsp garam masala or any other spice mix as well.
  • Garnish Egg Bhurji with finely chopped cilantro and serve with roti or bread.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
