Weekend Cooking: Egg Bhurji

Breakfast remains a challenge for me.  When I wake, I want to eat right away and not fuss with recipes and and noisy appliances.  When I found this recipe for Egg Bhurji  in my inbox, I thought it was worth a try. (it was in an email from EatRight Ontario)

 

Egg Bhurji

 

3 whole eggs

4 egg whites

1/4 tsp red chili powder (optional)

1 tsp canola oil

1 green chili pepper, chopped (I used a jalapeno)

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped tomato

1 cup frozen peas

1 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

1/2 tsp garam masala powder

1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro

 

Directions:

 

Beat Eggs and egg whites in a bowl.  Add the chili powder, if using.  Set aside.

In a fry pan, heat oil over medium heat.  Add the chili pepper and onion and cook until soft.  About 3 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, peas, ginger and garam masala.  Cook for 3 minutes.

Add the egg mixture and stir while cooking for 3 to 5 minutes.  Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.

 Last week while visiting the various posts linked to Weekend Cooking, I found a recipe for Garlicky Tortellini with Shrimp and Arugula.  I had not tried arugula before, but didn't let that stop me.  I made it just as described in the recipe with the exception that I only put in about 3 1/2 oz of the arugula.  It was wonderful and will become a regular dish at my house.  Thanks to Caite at A Lovely Shore Breeze for the recipe.
