Egg Bhurji recipe, cooked inside a roti made of whole wheat atta flour, transforms a popular street food snack of North India into a highly nutritious lunchbox item. Four eggs and one cup of atta provide about 35 g of protein in total, 9 g per roti. Eggs contain all the essential amino acids, while atta provides dietary fibre, so that the rolls satisfy the hunger of kids during their classes. The word “bhurji” means crumbled or scrambled. Masala bhurji, which is prepared with onion, tomato, green chillies and a ginger-garlic mixture, is a streetside delicacy across many cities where it is commonly served along with pav. Wrapping this delicacy in roti will make it easily transportable and edible without any utensils. To prepare the egg bhurji recipe to pack inside a roll for Children's Day lunchbox, ensure that no wet egg is left, since completely cooked eggs will keep better during travel. Fry the stuffed rolls in butter on each side for 1-2 minutes so that the seams get sealed, and the surface gets firm.
