Green Beans and Egg Burji

It's the beginning of the week (yet again!) and you're oh-so-bored already. The last thing on your mind would be to slave in the kitchen to fix yourself a meal. Yet, you don't (and cannot if you have kids, especially!) want to sacrifice on healthy food. Green Beans and Egg Burji should be the answer to all these questions. Healthy, hearthy and filling it is! I am sure you thought I was talking about two different dishes. Well well.. this is just a new take on the plain old scrambled egg. And what's more, this little side dish provides you with your daily dose of protein and fiber. With a few chapathis or phulkas to accompany this burji you have a great dinner, ready in less time than you think!

Ingredients

1.5 cups Chopped green beans

2 Eggs, beaten lightly

3 Green Chillies, slit  (Add more if you desire!)

1/2 Cup Onion, chopped

1 tsp Jeera

1 tsp Mustard Seeds

1 tbsp Urad Dal

1/2 tsp Ground pepper

Oil

And, of course, some salt to taste!

Method

- Boil/Microwave green beans until cooked and set aside

- In a non-stick saucepan, heat oil  and add the mustard seeds

- Once, they splutter add jeera and urad dal and fry for a few seconds
- Throw in the green chillies and fry them for a couple

- Add onions and stir until translucent

- Toss in the beans, add salt and stir for about 30 seconds

- Now, lower the flame, add some salt and the ground pepper to the beaten egg and stir it into the beans mixture in the saucepan
