Cauliflower Egg Bhurji

 

          Egg / Paneer Bhurji is a very popular Indian cuisine that is very much appreciated by young and old alike. Bhurji literally translates to scrambled. It is generally served in dhabas across the country and is also considered as a very popular side dish in all North Indian restaurants. 

          However, I gave a slight twist to the original recipe and decided to try out with cauliflower & egg and it turned out very yummy. You can relish it with rice, chapattis, naan or tandoori roti for a simple homemade healthy meal.

• 1 small cauliflower, grated
• 2 eggs, well beaten with a pinch of salt & pepper powder
• 2-3 tbsp. oil
• 1 tsp. cumin seeds
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2" ginger, grated
• 2-3 green chilies, chopped
• salt to taste 
• 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp. Kashmiri red chili powder
• 1 tbsp. coriander-cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp. garam masala powder
• 1 tsp. ghee
• chopped coriander leaves to garnish

          Heat 1 tsp. oil and fry the beaten egg till it is well scrambled. Keep aside.

 

         Heat remaining oil and temper with cumin seeds. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and green chilies. Sauté till light brown. 

          Add the grated cauliflower and all the dry spices. Combine everything well and cook, covered, on a low flame till done.

         Add the scrambled egg and ghee. Give it a toss and switch off the flame. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve as a side dish with either rice or any Indian bread.
