Why this is weight-loss-friendly

Eggs are protein-rich and filling, and a low-oil bhurji keeps the calories modest. It is naturally low in carbs.

Substitutions

• Use one whole egg plus two egg whites to lower the fat and calories while keeping the protein.
• Add chopped capsicum or spinach for more volume and fiber.

Variations

• Serve in a lettuce wrap instead of roti for a lower-carb plate.

Storage & meal prep

Best fresh. If needed, keep refrigerated for a day and reheat gently.

Pre-chop the onion and tomato so this is a 10-minute meal any time.

Common mistakes

• Overcooking: the eggs turn dry and rubbery. Take them off the heat when just set.
• Too much oil: 1 teaspoon is enough in a non-stick pan.
