Recipe to make egg bhurji:
- Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds.
- Let the cumin splutter and add chopped onions.
- Saute onions for two minutes until they become transparent.
- Add capsicum and green chillies. If making for kids instead of chopped green chillies use slit chillies.
- Put chopped tomato and cook until they become soft.
- Add required salt for the bhurji at this stage as salt helps to cook the tomatoes faster.
- Pour the beaten eggs and stir quickly.
- Continue to stir and cook the eggs to avoid sticking to the bottom.
- As you may know, eggs get cooked faster and so you have to stir continuously for five minutes in medium flame.
- In around 5 to 7 minutes the eggs become curdled and leaving the pan.
- Scrap the sides and mix well. Break the big lumps into small parts by using the ladle.
- Now add chilli powder, black pepper powder and garam masala.
- Mix the eggs with the masala powders for two minutes and switch off.

Notes
Tips: 1) First of all, beat the eggs properly before stir-frying. Because if not beaten up, egg whites and yolks get fried separately. 2) Moreover, you can avoid using capsicum if you don't like. 3) Moreover, I didn't use ginger garlic paste as I like it that way. If you prefer you can add half tsp of it after sauteing onions. 4) Also, add a dash of lemon juice at last if you wish to.
