Ingredients
6 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 green chiles (deseeded and finely chopped)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon red chile powder
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons deseeded and finely chopped tomato
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Sliced bread or toast (for serving)
Instructions
Break the eggs into a bowl, add salt, and whisk thoroughly until frothy.
Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until melted.
Add garlic, ginger, green chiles, and onions. Sauté until onions are golden brown, about 4 to 7 minutes.
Add red chile powder, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in tomatoes and cook until soft and juicy, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook undisturbed for 1 minute.
Gently scrape the sides and stir lightly. Continue cooking and gently scrambling for 2 to 4 minutes until soft, creamy, and slightly runny.
Mix in chopped cilantro and turn off the heat.
Serve hot with sliced bread or toast.
Notes
Do not overcook the eggs; they should remain soft and creamy.
