Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter or neutral cooking oil
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
- 1 small, finely chopped (optional) green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 6 halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, and whisk them together until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the butter (or oil) in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional green chili. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground turmeric, cumin, and coriander to the skillet. Stir the spices into the onion mixture and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to set slightly for 15-20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing and folding them from the edges towards the center.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are softly scrambled and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the curried egg scramble with fresh cilantro, if using.
Serve immediately, either on its own or with toasted bread, flatbread, or rice.
