Egg Bhurji

     I love Egg in whatever form it is, except the Boiled One. When my kid is not at home, i dont feel like cooking. So, just thought of trying different recipe for our lunch break with the 4 eggs i had in my fridge. While preparing, i was bit scared whether the eggs will end up in a disaster when the preparation method goes wrong. Just for a safer side, prepared the Poriyal using only 2 eggs and added remaining 2 eggs as boiled. Wow ! it tastes and smells so good. As it is a dry recipe, i prefer to take this with Roti and Chapathi, instead of having with steamed rice.



INGREDIENTS
Egg - 2 Nos.
Chopped Onion - 3 Nos.
Chopped Tomato - 1 No.
Finely Chopped Ginger - 1/2 Inch
Finely Chopped Garlic - 3 or 4 Nos.
Curry Leaf - 1 Twig
Coriander Leaf - 2 Twigs
Chilly Powder - 3/4 spoon
Turmeric Powder - Pinch
Pepper Powder - 1/2 spoon
Salt - To taste
Oil - To temper

METHOD:
    Break the eggs in a bowl, stir it finely and keep aside. Keep a non-stick pan, heat 2 spoons of oil. Once heated, add chopped Onion and tomato. Saute it for 5 mins. Then add Turmeric Powder, chilly Powder and Salt, fry it till the oil oozes out. Pour the egg content. Leave it for 2 seconds without disturbing. Then stir finely with the onion+tomato mixture. Allow it to mix completely. It will take 5 to 6 mins. Couple of minute before you put off the flame, add Curry and Coriander leaf and fry it well.
    I dont prefer adding any instant powders like Garam, Cumin and Fennel Powders as it will spoil the Chopped ginger garlic flavor.

Note:Instead of adding chilly powder, can also add chopped green chillies
