Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 2 small Green Chili
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 0 to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the onion and tomato. Mince the ginger and garlic, and chop the green chilies into small pieces.

Step 2

In a bowl, break the eggs and beat them lightly. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the minced ginger, garlic, and chopped green chilies to the pan. Sauté for a minute until the raw aroma fades.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and fry until they become translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 7

Add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook the spices for about a minute.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs into the pan.

Step 9

Gently stir the mixture continuously, scraping from the bottom to prevent sticking, until the eggs are fully cooked and have a scrambled consistency.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
