egg scramble

 

         This simple and delicious dish goes well with plain rice or with chapathi/naan or even by itself if the seasonings are reduced a bit. Eggs are a good protein source, also containing many minerals and invaluable for pregnant women (from the fourth month onwards) and nursing mothers. 

Ingredients:

3 eggs

3-4 medium sized onions

2 green chillis

3 tbsp sunflower oil

salt (1 – 2 tsp), red chilli powder (1- 2 tsp), turmeric powder ( half a tsp)

Procedure:

1. Chop onions finely and slit the green chillis.

2. Heat oil in a vessel (non stick isnt so great for this) and add the onions and green chillis. Stir, cover with a lid, reduce heat and let them get steamed. Check after 5-10 mins and stir till till they are fried golden and the oil absorbed by the onions in the beginning starts to ooze out again.

3. Increase heat. Add the salt, turmeric pwd and  red chilli pwd. Stir. Break the eggs one by one on the side of the vessel and drop in both the whites and yolks. Stir.  

4. Leave for 2 or 3 mins or till they start to get dry. Then keep stirring to prevent burning. Fry till the eggs are cooked.
