Questions people ask about Egg Bhurji

How long does Egg Bhurji take?

About 15 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of eggs in Egg Bhurji?

Use for binding, 1 tbsp besan whisked with 2 tbsp water per egg. For scrambles, crumbled firm tofu with a pinch of kala namak.

Can I make Egg Bhurji ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

What do you serve with Egg Bhurji?

Coriander, and pav toasted in butter. It serves two as written. Double everything to feed four, but use a wider pan so the food still browns rather than steams.
