What pan size is best for making Curry Scramble?

A medium non-stick skillet, around 10 to 12 inches in diameter, works best for making Curry Scramble. This size allows enough space to cook the eggs evenly without overcrowding.

Tips:

- Use fresh tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. You can also try using cherry tomatoes for a sweeter taste.

- To make the scramble creamier, consider adding a small amount of butter or cream cheese while cooking.

- If you enjoy a more intense curry flavor, feel free to increase the amount of curry powder slightly.

- For a bit of extra protein and texture, add some cooked chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to the scramble.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to add a touch of freshness and color.
