How to Make Indian Scrambled Egg

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-inch piece of grated ginger, and 1-2 finely chopped green chilies. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder, and a pinch of red chili powder (optional). Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
  3. In a bowl, lightly beat 4 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs into the saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves.
  6. Serve immediately with warm flatbread or naan.
