Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Green bell pepper
- 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat them with a whisk or fork until yolks and whites are thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, roughly 3-4 minutes.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 1 minute until the raw smell dissipates.
Stir in the green chili, finely chopped green bell pepper, and chopped tomato. Cook until the tomato becomes soft, approximately 3 minutes.
Add turmeric powder and red chili powder to the pan, stirring to coat the vegetables well with the spices.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and stir gently, scrambling them as they cook.
Season with salt and continue to stir occasionally until the eggs are cooked through but still moist, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with a garnishing of additional chopped cilantro if desired.
