To make these Spicy Indian-Style Scrambled Eggs, you won’t have to wait until the weekend when you have lots of free time because they only take a few minutes to prepare if you have all the ingredients on hand. The eggs are so simple to make, but have a really bold and complex flavour from all the spices. I’m a big fan of ginger, and you never normally see ginger with eggs but somehow this combination works, and works well.
This recipe feeds 2 people and costs $1.16 per serving.
Just whisk the eggs with the cumin and turmeric. Put the onion, chile, garlic and ginger in a frying pan and cook over a high heat until the onion begins to brown. We like using a Microplane Fine Grater to grate the garlic and ginger. You end up with a very fine mush of garlic and ginger, which allows the flavours to really infuse whatever you are cooking. Then add the tomatoes to the mix and cook for around 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the eggs. Keep on stirring the eggs until they just set which only takes a minute or so. The eggs will be slightly looser than most normal scrambled egg recipes because of all of the spices, tomatoes, and onions, but don’t worry they will be cooked thoroughly. Top with fresh cilantro and enjoy the eggs with a side of toast, or even better if you have some in the house, naan bread.
