Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 6 pav
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 5 onion
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 4 tomato
  • 1 capsicum
  • 3 green chillies
  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 tsp degi red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  • Salt
  • Lemon wedge

Instructions

  • Start this recipe of bhurji pav by melting 2-3 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • The oil keeps the butter from burning while adding richness to the dish.
  • Once hot, toss in a tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and saut for about a minute until it starts releasing that deep, aromatic vibe.
  • Next, throw in 3 large onions, finely chopped, and let them cook down until they're beautifully caramelized.
  • This step is key—let the onions break down into a rich, golden-brown base that's packed with flavor.
  • Add 3 finely chopped medium-sized tomatoes and cook until they're soft and fully blended with the onions.
  • At this stage, mix in 1 medium-sized finely chopped capsicum for a fresh crunch and earthy undertone.
  • Spice things up with 3 finely chopped green chilies for heat, or dial it down depending on your spice tolerance.
  • Stir in a tablespoon of finely chopped coriander stems—this adds a burst of aroma that ties everything together.
  • Season the mix with 1 teaspoon of deghi red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder.
  • These spices give the bhurji its signature fiery color and flavor.
  • Mix everything well so the spices coat the veggies evenly.
  • Add a splash of water to help soften the vegetables and bring the flavors together.
  • Let this simmer for a few minutes until it's all perfectly combined.
  • Now for the eggs—crack 8 directly into the pan and start scrambling them with a spatula.
  • Keep stirring as the eggs cook, so they meld beautifully with the spiced veggie mix.
  • Once the eggs are cooked and fluffy, toss in 2 tablespoons of cubed butter.
  • Stir until the butter melts into the bhurji, making it extra rich and creamy.
  • Adjust the salt to taste, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves for that pop of freshness and color.
  • Heat another pan with 1 tablespoon of butter and toast 2 ladi pav until golden brown and crisp for the ultimate pairing.
  • The buttery crust adds a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the soft, spiced bhurji.
  • Pile the bhurji onto the toasted pav, garnish with chopped onions, tomatoes, and coriander, and squeeze a wedge of lemon over the top for a bright, tangy kick.
  • Serve it warm, and you've got a spicy, buttery, and oh-so-comforting dish.
  • Bhurji Pav is the ultimate quick-fix meal—great for breakfast, a snack, or a lazy dinner.
  • It's indulgent yet wholesome, with the perfect balance of savory eggs, veggies, and buttery bread.
