Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, finely chopped tomato
• 2 small, finely chopped green chilies
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 cloves, finely minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is light and frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 3

Once the butter is hot, add the chopped onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and green chilies to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the turmeric, ground cumin, and red chili powder. Mix well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the mixture using a spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan as the eggs cook.

Step 8

Continue to cook the eggs on low heat, stirring frequently, until the scramble reaches a creamy texture. Avoid overcooking for the best results.

Step 9

Stir in the fresh cilantro just before turning off the heat.

Step 10

Serve hot, alongside buttered toast or pav (Indian bread rolls).
