Description
Enjoy a vibrant and flavorful breakfast with Indian scrambled eggs, spiced with turmeric and chilies, served hot on flatbread or toast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ghee or butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and finely sliced
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon ginger root, peeled and cut into thin 1-inch pieces
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, for garnish
- Fresh feta cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Carefully crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk with a fork until they are uniformly combined. Set the eggs aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium flame. Add the ghee and olive oil, allowing them to melt and combine.
- Add the sliced red onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Stir in the chopped green chilies and ground turmeric. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves until they are softly set but still slightly runny.
- Season the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scrambled eggs with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
- Serve immediately with fresh feta cheese on the side, along with flatbread or toast.
Notes
For a lighter version, use only egg whites, and the turmeric will provide a yolk-like color. Tofu can be used as an egg substitute; ensure it is extra-firm and well-drained. Serve with fresh feta cheese for added flavor. Adjust the number of chilies based on your spice preference.
