Notes
This recipe is from Sarayu’s cousin Aditya, who previously worked in the hospitality industry with Taj Group of Hotels, and is known as one of the family’s best cooks. Egg burji was also a popular breakfast item on the Adeni family’s menu during their 2016 trip to Rajasthan. Try wrapping it in a chapati or tortilla to make a kati roll for the road. Another variation is to add some diced bell peppers and saute it for a bit before adding the eggs.
