I really love this dish and I really love eggs. This is my version of anda bhurji.
I add 1 cookingspoon of olive oil to my cast iron skillet or wok. I add 1 onion or shallot and sometimes instead I add 3 green onions chopped plus pink salt and I fry them until they turn a little brown. I add in my mortar and pestle 1 pinch each of cumin seeds, coriander seeds and black peppercorns and ground them in to a coarse powder and add them with the onions and stirred. I added 1 pinch each of turmeric and red chili powder and mixed again. I added 1 green chili and 1 tomato and cooked until the tomato turned mushy.
This has been a long time favorite in my house for ages. Mr. Riaz got me actually started making this at the beginning of our relationship. It was anda bhurji or as he calls it eggs curry or eggs masala.
I cracked 4 eggs and added the eggs directly in to the masala mixture. I added 1 pinch of cilantro and stirred until the eggs are very well cooked.
The finished product is ready to enjoy anytime with paratha or chapati. P.S. There is a second version only using powdered eggs or even egg whites.
Add 4 tbs of either whole egg powder or egg white powder and 1/2 a cup of water in the blender and blend on high until it is free from lumps. Adding a little bit of water at a time until you have a nice consistency.
Also you can use 2 or 3 canned tomatoes instead of fresh and proceed to cook like 1st version on top.
