Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 onion white, large, diced in small pieces
2 cloves garlic fresh, minced
1 bell pepper orange, diced in small pieces
2 cup bok choy chopped in medium pieces
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp curry powder mild
1 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp paprika
1.5 tsp sea salt
10 egg medium
1 chili green
1/2 cup coriander fresh, chopped

Instructions

In a large pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds and fry until lightly brown and they begin to release their aroma
Add onions, garlic and pepper and stir to mix well. Cook on medium heat until peppers are soft
Stir in the bok choy and cook on medium/high heat for 5 minutes or until bok choy is cooked. Stir regularly to prevent mixture from burning and sticking to the pan
Add all the spices, chilli and salt and stir well to combine. Cook for 2 minutes
Crack eggs in the pan and stir constantly to mix and cook until all the eggs are cooked through and the mixture is no longer wet
Garnish with fresh coriander

Notes

Adjust the chili to your preference
Use good quality free-range eggs
Serve the egg bhurji with rotis or naan bread
Leftovers will store well in the fridge and can be eaten cold
I don’t recommend reheating this dish as the egg will overcook
