Egg Bhurji

Prep: 3 min·Cook: 3 min·Serves 1

Ingredients

2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
¼ small onion, very finely chopped
1 small tomato, deseeded and finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp cumin powder
¼ tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp oil or butter
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander to finish

Steps

1
Combine everything
Crack eggs into a microwave-safe mug or bowl. Add milk, onion, tomato, green chilli, all spices, oil, and salt. Whisk well with a fork until fully combined.
2
First microwave
Microwave on HIGH for 60 seconds. The edges will be starting to set but the centre will be liquid.
3
Stir and continue
Remove and stir with a fork, scraping the cooked egg from the edges into the centre. Microwave on HIGH for another 45 seconds.
4
Final stir
Stir again. The eggs should be mostly set with a few moist, soft curds. If still very wet, microwave for a final 30 seconds. Do not overcook — the eggs continue cooking from residual heat.
5
Finish and serve
Top with fresh coriander. Serve immediately with toast, roti, or paratha.

Tips for Best Results

💡 Stop before it looks done

Microwave eggs carry over-cook significantly. Stop when the eggs still look slightly wet — they will firm up to perfect consistency in 30 seconds of resting.

💡 Deseed the tomato

Tomato seeds release water and make the bhurji watery. Take 10 seconds to squeeze out the seeds before chopping.

💡 Use a deep mug for easy cleanup

A tall mug contains the mixture as it puffs up during cooking and means you eat straight from the vessel — one fewer dish to wash.

About this recipe ↓

The Fastest No-Gas Breakfast

Egg bhurji — spiced scrambled eggs with onion, tomato, and green chilli — is one of the quickest and most satisfying Indian breakfasts. It is also one of those dishes that people reach instinctively for a pan to make. The microwave does it in literally 3 minutes.

The key difference from pan-cooked bhurji: you cook in 60-second bursts, stirring between each, to create the characteristic soft, broken-up curds. The masala flavour is identical.
