Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small (finely chopped) onion
- 1 medium (finely chopped) tomato
- 1 (finely chopped, adjust to taste) green chili
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts and starts to sizzle, add the chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.
Add the minced garlic and green chili. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften and the spices are well incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, spreading them evenly over the vegetable mixture.
Allow the eggs to set slightly on the bottom, then gently stir and fold the mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are softly scrambled and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped cilantro and stir through. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately with warm toast, naan, or parathas.
