For 4 servings
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined. Do not over-whisk. Set aside.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan or kadai over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns soft and translucent. Then, stir in the ginger paste, garlic paste, and green chilies. Cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and become soft and pulpy. Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the oil begins to separate from the masala base.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the whisked eggs. Let them sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds to slightly set at the bottom.
Gently start scrambling with a spatula, scraping the cooked egg from the bottom and folding it over. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the eggs are cooked through but still soft and moist. Avoid overcooking to prevent a rubbery texture.
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the garam masala and freshly chopped coriander leaves over the bhurji. Give it a final gentle mix. Let it cool slightly before using as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
