Wow thats my favorite dish, I love Anda Bhurji with phulkas specially baked on gas flame. Very interesting names indeed, as Asha said blogging is kinda of educating yourself with all the different things unknown.
Nice and clean post with great photos
thanks for sharing...
The more the coriander, the better it goes :). Looks lovely, Saju :). whatever name you call it with, it is good!
I have scrambled eggs for dinner but never with rotis. Why do you blanch the tomatoes?
Hi Saju! looks yummy and tasty. Even I will prefer for rotis only. Thanks for sharing your version and happy weekend and have a nice day.
Thank you all.
Blanching makes it easier to peel the tomatoes.
Saju, that has got to be the brightest looking scrambled eggs I've ever seen. I've never seen them made with potatoes.
Looks yummy
I love to have Scrambled eggs with Bread.
I haven't made bhurji with potatoes before. I'm looking forward to trying this!
