Ingredients

• 4 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Skim milk
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
• 0.5 medium Green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, crack the eggs and add skim milk. Whisk together until well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.

Step 4

Add the ginger paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and continue to sauté for another minute to allow the spices to release their aromas.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes and green bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the bell pepper is slightly tender.

Step 6

Mix in the chopped green chili and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Pour in the egg mixture and stir continuously on low-medium heat to scramble the eggs. Ensure the egg is well mixed with the vegetables and spices.

Step 8

Continue to cook until the eggs are softly scrambled but still slightly runny to your taste. Be cautious not to overcook, as the eggs will continue to cook with the residual heat.

Step 9

Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and chopped coriander leaves over the top.

Step 10

Serve hot with whole wheat bread, roti, or as a side dish to any meal.
