The author goes into more detail, and discusses some interesting variants.Enjoy!-- CAV***Anda Bhurji (Indian Scrambled Eggs)Ingredientsonion green chiles, 2 large tomato olive oil, 2 tbsp cumin, 1/2 tsp curry, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp eggs, 6 turmeric, 1/4 tsp ginger paste, 1 tsp garlic, minced, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice roti, flour tortillas, or basmati rice Directions 1.
