Boiled Egg Bhurji-Boiled Egg Bhaji

April 30, 2018 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Boiled Egg Bhurji

Boiled Egg Bhaji is an interesting variation to conventional Anda Bhurji which is an Indian spiced version of scrambled eggs (not in exact terms).

Being completely unaware of the origins of these dishes, I tend to assume that it must have been some enterprising street food vendor who in his bid to impress his clientele must have devised these preparations. How else could we explain the proliferation of these dishes in street food culture of our country. Egg Bhurji and Boiled Egg Bhaji are widely prepared and relished with much excitement in every lanes of India.

Boiled Egg Bhurji

Bhurji-Pav is a staple for wide range of people in cosmopolitan cities like Mumbai where these items are prepared on food carts on streets. One of the primary reasons for the mushrooming growth of the street food carts is the provision of food at low cost. Daily wagers, low budgeted students who need to fill themselves up without stressing their financials find these options perfectly viable. I can recollect numerous occasions when I had queued up to gorge on the delicious preparation of Boiled Egg Bhurji which was always paired with buttered and roasted Pav (Soft Dinner rolls).

The nagging issue which many may find bothersome was abysmal food hygiene standards practiced on these food stalls. These low standards act as a deterrence for many and they would want to replicate these dishes in their own kitchen.
