How to Make Akuri Spiced Scrambled Eggs

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped, and sauté until lightly golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder.
  4. Stir-fry the spice mixture for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beaten egg mixture.

  7. Serve immediately with warm chapatis or puris and your favorite spiced vegetables. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
