Egg bhurji with green leafy veg.

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
It is always very difficult to feed green leafy vegetables to kids. They just puke it out, if we stir fry and give them. Till now, I thought to add the leaves in dal and feed the kids,  is the only way. But my aunty (Mom's cousin) gave me a tip. A very healthy and easy way to give green leafy veg. to your kids. 
Every one know the benefit of intake of green leafy vegetables and egg in everyday food.
So I am good girl, if I do not explain the benefits in detail!! (Just because, it is my last minute entry, I do not have much time!! Sorry!)



Just add any leafy veg. into Egg bhurji and the purpose is served.
Jumping to the recipe,
Green leafy veg - 1 bunch, cleaned, washed and chopped finely
(Methi or palak or Rajgiri or any leafy vegetables which cooks faster)
Eggs - 2, beat and keep ready in a bowl
Onion - 1 big chopped
Garlic - 2 flakes(optional)
Green chilly - 1 chopped
(skip green chilly and add 1 tsp red chilly powder, if you are giving to younger kid)
salt to taste
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Dhania powder - 1 tsp
Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Tomato - 1 small (only if you are using Palak)
Lime juice - 1 tsp for other leafy veg.
Oil - 1 tbsp


Heat oil in a kadai, add jeera, onion and green chilly. Fry for some time. Add tomato if you are using palak. Cook it till tomato starts leaving the sides. Add salt, dhania powder and haldi.(and red chilly powder if not using green chilly). Mix it properly. Add beaten eggs. Mix it properly and cook till egg is 3/4 cooked(3 to 4 min). Now add chopped green leaves. Mix it and cook it. Keep on stirring, or else it will get burnt. Once the green leaves is cooked and the raw smell is gone, add lime juice. Take it from the heat. Mix properly. The bhurji is ready to eat with chapati or rice!!



I want to send this healthy dish to RV's Food for 7 Stages of Life - Kids Special Event Announcement
