Inspired by an Indian dish Anda Bhurji, this nutritious breakfast of curried scrambled eggs with red onion and garlic is super quick and easy to make.
If you’re like me and enjoy having eggs are your breakfast staple, you would know that it’s essential to keep those egg dishes varied and creative.
There is nothing wrong with plain fried eggs, but let’s face it, it can get a little boring. That’s why I like to improvise with fun omelettes, frittatas and egg scrambles.
This recipe for curried scrambled eggs is a delicious and slightly more exotic take on the regular scrambled eggs. It takes around 10 minutes to make, making it a quick and easy breakfast meal.
Making Curried Scrambled Eggs
As well as using common mild curry spice, which is rich in anti-inflammatory turmeric, I like to fry up some sweet red onions and a little garlic for extra flavour and nutrients. Both garlic and onion are rich in sulfur, which has many health benefits and is needed for multiple syntheses in the body. In addition, baby spinach provides a lot of vitamins, minerals and fibre to this dish.
This curry spiced egg scramble recipe is designed for one generous serving but you can easily add more eggs and a little more curry spice and turn it into a meal for two; or, simply multiply the ingredients to make a larger batch for the family. The curry spice adds delicious flavour and aroma but not that much heat, so it’s not actually spicy.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 medium onion halved and sliced thinly, red or white onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium eggs
- 1 clove garlic finely diced
- 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves tightly packed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- A few thin slices of chilli or chilli flakes for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the onion and salt and cook for 4 minutes, stirring a couple of times until golden brown and soft. In the meantime, whisk the eggs on a bowl.
- Add the garlic and curry powder to the onions and stir through. Pour in the eggs and gently stir continuously for about 30 seconds, until the eggs are just cooked through but still glossy. Use the spatula to scrape the cooked egg from the bottom of the pan and fold it into the rest of the mix.
- Add the baby spinach leave to a serving bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Top with the scrambled eggs and some chilli or other herbs of choice on top.

Hey Irena Dope Recipe! i Used Vindaloo Curry Powder & Added Some Jack Cheese & Some Applewood Country Bacon & Some Sliced Cherub Tomatoes on The Side :))P…
Sounds amazing!
These egg curry sound so delicious to make homemade! Thanks for sharing.
Hi, thanks for this recipe. I often make something like this for breakfast every day. Eating animal protein in the morning keeps me alert during the day, while fruits at night put me to sleep better. Sometimes I substitute fish, chicken, or turkey for the eggs, and keep the same recipe, onion, spinach, and spices. By the way, there is no “curry” spice. It differs from locale to locale in India, and it also depends on the specific cook. It almost always includes fenugreek, cumin, and cilantro, and often a mix of other spices also, such as turmeric, red pepper, and so on.
Thanks Ben. I am the same with protein for breaky 🙂 By spiced, I mean the dish is ‘flavoured’ with curry. Hope that makes sense 😉
