Anda Bhurji, Indian-Style Scrambled Eggs

My first experience with anda bhurji was on a trip to Mumbai a couple years back. Many street stalls serve this spicy egg scramble throughout the city at all times of the day in a buttered bun or pav with raw onion.

I’ve been getting a half dozen eggs from my farmshare each week so this week, I thought I’d try to recreate this recipe in my own way.

I scrambled my eggs with onions, ginger, garlic, green chillies, tomato, cilantro and threw in some fresh peppers that I got from my CSA. Traditionally, spices like turmeric, garam masala, or pav baji masala, are also added along with a lot of butter, but I kind of wanted to just use fresh ingredients with less butter in my version.

I served my eggs in a brioche bun (I know fancy) with a little ketchup, Dijon mustard and a sharp cheddar cheese.
