Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Green bell pepper
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat them with a whisk or fork until yolks and whites are thoroughly mixed. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, roughly 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 1 minute until the raw smell dissipates.

Step 4

Stir in the green chili, finely chopped green bell pepper, and chopped tomato. Cook until the tomato becomes soft, approximately 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add turmeric powder and red chili powder to the pan, stirring to coat the vegetables well with the spices.

Step 6

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and stir gently, scrambling them as they cook.

Step 7

Season with salt and continue to stir occasionally until the eggs are cooked through but still moist, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve hot with a garnishing of additional chopped cilantro if desired.
