Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 small (finely chopped) onion
• 1 medium (finely chopped) tomato
• 1 (finely chopped, adjust to taste) green chili
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 0.25 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.

Step 2

Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts and starts to sizzle, add the chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and green chili. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften and the spices are well incorporated.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, spreading them evenly over the vegetable mixture.

Step 6

Allow the eggs to set slightly on the bottom, then gently stir and fold the mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are softly scrambled and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped cilantro and stir through. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately with warm toast, naan, or parathas.
