Egg Keema Recipe

Egg Keema or Egg Bhurji is a popular preparation of minced hardboiled eggs with spices. It’s best enjoyed as a snack or with some bread as a light dinner. It’s also a street food favourite; the next time you see an egg bhurji stall be sure to try some out!

Eggs are beneficial in a variety of ways, but are especially helpful to give an ‘eggetarian’ (a vegetarian who eats eggs) a good dose of protein.
