Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 people
Course: Breakfast, Main Course, Snack
Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp. ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/4 tsp. red chili powder
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
    Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn soft and light brown.
    Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil starts to separate.
    Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix everything well.
    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly.
    Lower the heat, then pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir continuously on a low flame to get a soft, creamy consistency. Don’t overcook the eggs—Parsi-style scrambled eggs are meant to be soft and slightly runny.
    Once cooked to your liking, turn off the heat and mix in the chopped coriander and a little squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.
