Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Eggs
  • 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
  • 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
  • 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
  • 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them well with a pinch of salt until light and frothy. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it turns translucent.

Step 4

Add the chopped green chili and ginger garlic paste to the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell of ginger and garlic disappears.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for 3-4 minutes until it softens and the mixture becomes slightly mushy.

Step 6

Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the pan. Stir well and let the spices bloom for 1 minute.

Step 7

Lower the heat slightly and pour in the whisked eggs. Allow the eggs to sit for a few seconds without stirring so they start to set.

Step 8

Gently fold the eggs into the vegetable and spice mixture, stirring constantly to scramble the eggs without overcooking them. Cook until the eggs are soft but fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the scrambled eggs. Mix gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve the Indian Scrambled Egg hot with toasted bread, roti, or as a filling for wraps or sandwiches.
