There is a reason I’ve chosen to write this as my first recipe on this blog. This recipe brings nostalgic feelings as we’ve been having this for breakfast for nearly as long as I’ve been married. I’ve taught this recipe to all of our chefs who’ve worked at our home to cook it for my husband so that I can get some good sleep on Fridays but nothing compares to joy of seeing the twinkle in my husband’s eyes when I make it, and that’s the reason this recipe is a ritual to start our Friday mornings.
Egg Kheema (also known as Anda Bhurji or Egg Bhurji) is a famous street food in Surat where majority of people are vegetarians, they enjoy having Egg Kheema as one of the only non-vegetarian food items. Nothing compares to the original taste of Egg Kheema cooked street food style, but I’ve created my own variation having perfected it over the last 13 years. Hope you’ll like it:
