Spicy Egg Scramble with a Potato Twist
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 large tomato, finely chopped
- 2-3 green chillies, chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup cooking oil
- 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 300 grams potatoes, cubed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Veggies: Finely chop the onion, tomato, and green chillies. Set them aside.
-
Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs.
-
Tempering Time: Heat the oil in a pan. Add the ginger-garlic paste and fry on low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
-
Potato Power: Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and fry them in the oil with the ginger-garlic paste. You don't need to add water, as frying them will enhance the flavor. Cook until the potatoes are slightly softened and golden brown.
-
Spice it Up: Add the salt, chili flakes, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder to the pan. Stir and fry for a minute to release the aromas of the spices.
-
Eggcellent Addition: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the spiced potatoes. Gently fold the eggs into the mixture, allowing them to cook through. You can adjust the size of the egg pieces depending on your preference.
-
Fresh Finish: Once the eggs are cooked through, garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot.
Tips:
- Feel free to adjust the amount of green chillies to your desired spice level.
- You can also add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a softer scramble, add a splash of water or milk while cooking the eggs.
