110g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 cup tomatoes
180g
1 red hot chili pepper red hot chili peppers
10g
1 tsp ginger
1.80g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
3 tsp chili powder
8g
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
0.55g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and red hot chili pepper.
- Mince the ginger if using fresh ginger.
2. Beat the Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, crack the 8 eggs and whisk them until they are well mixed. Add a dash of salt and continue whisking to incorporate.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until they turn translucent and start to brown slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced ginger and continue to sauté for another minute until it releases its aroma.
4. Add Spices and Peppers:
- Mix in the chopped red hot chili pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and turmeric powder. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for about 1-2 minutes until they are aromatic.
5. Cook the Tomatoes:
- Add in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and start to break down.
6. Add the Eggs:
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir constantly with a spatula to scramble the eggs gently. Cook until the eggs are fully set but still moist, about 3-5 minutes depending on your preferred texture.
7. Serve:
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the Indian scrambled eggs hot, with a side of toasted bread, naan, or over rice for a complete meal.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, you can add a bit of butter along with the olive oil.

- Adjust the amount of chili powder and red hot chili pepper according to your spice tolerance.

- Adding a splash of milk or cream while scrambling the eggs can make them extra soft and creamy.

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for an added burst of freshness and color.

- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
