Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Egg Bhurji
- For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level. Start with fewer chilies and add more to taste.
- Don't overcook the eggs; aim for soft, creamy crumbles.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the eggs with crumbled paneer (Indian cheese) or soya chunks.
