Mumbai street style Boiled Egg Bhurji recipe. Easy recipe. Perfect side dish that can be served with sliced bread, pav, roti and chapati. Recipe with video.

This street style Mumbai boiled egg bhurji is a fantastic side dish that can be made in under 30 minutes.

For perfectly boiled eggs, I use the technique of pricking the eggs. Pricking the eggs makes the air escape easily and it gives a perfectly shaped egg after hard boiling.
Pricking the eggs is a technique that I learned watching the legendary Jacques Pepin. @jacquespepinfoundation This method works for me so well and peeling the eggs is a dream. Pricking also allows water to loosen the membrane that attaches the albumen. It doesn’t crack while cooking.

A basic masala made of onion, tomatoes, spices and herbs makes this dish an easy to do recipe and perfect for beginners.

This goes very well with toasted pav. Sometimes I use it as a filling for a sandwich. The masala is very tasty in a sandwich.

  1. Hi Suguna: What is unique to INDIAN sesame oil? Somewhere in your blog I did read that you prefer the brand Idhayam — noticed the list of ingredients on the label included jaggery. Thanks, Dido.

    1. Hi Dido,
      The way sesame oil is pressed in India is unique and its non toasted. Asian sesame oils are mostly toasted and wont be good for Indian cooking.
