Any discussion about Indian street food would be rendered incomplete without inclusion of “Anda Bhurji”.Its a Indian version of scrambled eggs and this is where the similarity between these 2 dishes end.
Anda Bhurji is loaded with spices, veggies, and makes a wholesome diet when accompanied with Pav (Indian bread). I can recollect numerous occasions when I along with my friends have eaten Bhurji-Pav prepared by street side vendor in the wee hours of the morning in Mumbai. This recipe is very close to my heart, as it reminds me of my exciting college days.
Go ahead and call your friends over the weekend and prepare this delicious Bhurji-Pav and relive your nostalgic moments with them. Purani Jeans, guitar aur Bhurji Pav, simply wow!!!
