Description

Guddu Porutu (also known as Egg Bhurji in some regions) is a simple yet satisfying South Indian egg preparation where beaten eggs are scrambled with sautéed onions, green chilies, curry leaves, and turmeric. The word “Guddu” means egg in Telugu, and “Porutu” refers to a dry-fry or stir-fry technique.

Unlike North Indian egg bhurji, this version has a distinct Southern flavor profile — often cooked in coconut or groundnut oil and seasoned with mustard seeds and curry leaves. It’s soft, spicy, and slightly crisp at the edges, making it a comfort food staple in many Telugu households.

Often paired with hot rice and ghee or rolled into rotis, Guddu Porutu is a go-to dish for quick dinners, protein-packed breakfasts, or a side dish in a traditional meal spread.
