For 2 servings
In a bowl, crack the eggs, add salt, and whisk lightly with a fork until just combined. Do not over-whisk. Set aside.
Heat ghee in a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilli. Sauté for about 1 minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Stir in the finely chopped tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft, mushy, and the ghee starts to separate from the mixture.
Add the turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Mix well and cook for 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let them sit for 10-15 seconds, then gently stir and scramble, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft and moist.
Turn off the heat. Immediately stir in the garam masala and chopped fresh coriander. This prevents the eggs from overcooking.
While the bhurji is cooking, toast the bread slices on a tawa (griddle) or in a toaster until golden brown and crisp. Spread butter evenly on the hot toasts.
