'''Egg bhurji''', also known as Anda Bhurji, is a [[scrambled egg]]s dish which is a popular Indian street food and a wonderful breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe. Originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]], It is sometimes compared with the [[Parsi people|Parsi]] dish ''[[akuri]]''. The Parsi dish Akoori or Akuri is very similar to egg bhurji with a few differences. Just like bhurji, akuri is filled with many aromatics like ginger, onion and other spices. However, bhurji eggs are cooked until dry, whereas akoori eggs are cooked less while still runny. The difference lies in its preparation and addition of [[sautéed]] chopped [[onion]]s, [[chili pepper|chilies]] and optional [[spice]]s.<ref>{{citation

Bhurji can be found at highway rest stops and [[street food]] stalls across India, sometimes served alongside slices of white bread.<ref>{{Cite web|last=CNN|first=By Griffin Shea, for|title=Best 23 cities for street food from Miami to Tokyo|url=https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/best-cities-street-food/index.html|access-date=2021-08-11|website=CNN|language=en}}</ref> Heavy with tomatoes, chilies, onion, and fragrant spices, these scrambled eggs make for a substantial and satisfying meal, in a matter of minutes.
