What makes it bhurji rather than scrambled eggs.
Worth eatingThree ways to fix it
Ordered by what you give up.
Option 1 · Less fat, same eggs−60
Two teaspoons of oil in a non-stick pan.
Around 340 calories with 20 grams of protein. Compare that to poha at 360 with six.
Taste cost: None
Option 2 · Add more vegetables−0
Double the onion and tomato, add spinach or capsicum.
More volume and fibre for almost no calories. Makes three eggs feel like a full plate.
Taste cost: None
Option 3 · Skip the roti−240
Bhurji on its own, or with one roti rather than two.
The eggs are already a meal. The bread is habit.
Taste cost: Low
