Scramble the Eggs
Garnish and Serve
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum) or green peas along with the onions for extra nutrition and crunch.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of garam masala along with the other powdered spices for more heat and aroma.
For an even richer and creamier bhurji, add 2 tablespoons of thick coconut milk at the very end and gently mix it in before garnishing.
Add 100 grams of crumbled paneer or small, cooked shrimp in the last minute of cooking the eggs for a more substantial meal.

One serving of Konkani Egg Bhurji (approximately 215g) contains around 280-320 calories, depending on the amount of oil and coconut used. It's a balanced dish with protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
Yes, it is a healthy dish. It's an excellent source of high-quality protein from eggs, healthy fats from coconut, and various vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and spices. It's a nutritious option for any meal.
While you can use desiccated coconut in a pinch, it is not recommended as it will significantly alter the texture and flavor. Freshly grated coconut provides moisture and a creamy sweetness that is key to this dish's authenticity.
Konkani Egg Bhurji is very versatile. It pairs wonderfully with soft pav (bread rolls), chapatis, rotis, or even dosas. It can also be served as a side dish with a simple meal of rice and dal.
Store any leftover bhurji in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving. Note that the texture of eggs can change slightly upon reheating.
