Mushroom Bhurji

Mushroom Bhurji is a simple recipe of mushrooms sauteed with vegetables and Indian spices. It is a super quick and easy recipe which can be prepared for a healthy snack or enjoy with a bread roll for lunch or dinner.

Everyone in my family loves good Bhurji and I make quite a few different varieties like ‘Paneer Bhurji’ and ‘Hard Boiled Egg Bhurji’ to name a few for breakfast or snack times. The word ‘Bhurji’ in Hindi means scrambled so this dish is basically scrambled mushroom with spices. Onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, green chillies are all added to make this spicy, savoury mushroom recipe.

We all also love mushrooms at home and this super easy Bhurji is quite a popular one. It is a vegetarian-friendly, nutritious, and tasty, and are an excellent way to use up any leftover vegetables that you spot at the bottom of the fridge with mushrooms. It is quite versatile too so feel free to add some spinach, peas or even sweetcorn for some more flavours.

Mushrooms are a rich, low-calorie source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. For instance, mushrooms raised with exposure to ultraviolet light are a good source of Vitamin D, an important component in bone and immune health. Mushrooms may also mitigate the risk of developing serious health conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
