    Which are the other vegetables , I can add along with this?

    Carrots goes on well with this egg bhurji along with beets .

    How to store left outs?

    Though , I dont recommend to store this as you'll be loosing out most of it's nutritions. If you still wish to do so then store in a air tight glass container in refeigerator , just for a day. While serving , reheat or microwave untill it turns warm and then serve.
