In this preparation eggs are beaten well with milk before cooking. The addition of milk to eggs before scrambling enables the eggs to become fluffy after scrambling process. The beaten eggs are then added to a spicy onion-tomato mixture, mixed well and stir fried until the eggs are fully cooked. The use of shallots(small onions) and coconut oil imparts a special flavour to the dish. But if you don't have enough time to peel shallots you may make with big onion too. This dish can be had as a side dish with rice or Indian breads like Chapati/Roti/Naan. You may even garnish the dish with coriander leaves(cilantro).
Ingredients:
5 eggs
10 shallots(small onions) sliced thin
1 big tomato/2 small tomatoes finely chopped
2 green chillies finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp garlic paste
Turmeric Powder- 3/4 tsp
Ground pepper - 1/2 tsp(or more, according to your taste buds)
Chicken masala or Garam masala- 3/4 tsp(or less, depending on your choice of spiciness)
Milk- 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Coconut oil for cooking
Cilantro(Coriander leaves) for garnish
Method:
- Beat eggs with milk well until they turn frothy. Keep aside.
- In a pan heat about 1 tsp coconut oil and saute small onions and green chillies until onions turn medium brown.
- Add garlic paste and saute until onions turn brown.
- Add chopped tomatoes and cook till it turns mushy.
- Add turmeric powder, ground pepper, chicken masala(or garam masala) and salt, mix well and saute till raw smell goes.
- Add the beaten eggs, mix well and saute until the eggs are cooked. Note that you need to stir continuously after the addition of eggs. Cooking has to be continued until the egg mixture is no longer mushy/soggy or until the scrambled egg pieces are separated and fluffy.
- Remove from heat and garnish with coriander leaves(optional).
