Spring onion egg bhurji is an Indian style scrambled egg curry using spring onions / green onions. Anda bhurji / egg bhurji which is basically scrambled eggs with Indian spices is very popular in North India.
In this recipe I have used spring onions which are also called as scallions or salad onions. They have long leaves and small white bulbs with a mild taste compared to onions and generally used for garnishing. They can be either cooked or eaten raw.
Spring onions have a unique intense flavor that can enhance a dish.
They not only give a vibrant look, they make for a healthy addition to salads. Both the green leaves and the white onion bulb can be used.
They are nutritious being a very good source of dietary fibre and vitamin C. They get cooked very fast and make for a good combination with eggs.
I rarely find spring onions in the market. When I got hold of a bunch of them I prepared this quick and simple egg bhurji / poriyal that has a unique taste from the spring onions. This healthy side dish goes well with rice or rotis or even as a sandwich filling.
