For the Scrambled Eggs (Base):
- Eggs: 5 large
- Oil: 1 tbsp
- Red Chilli Powder: 1/4 tsp
- Salt: A pinch
For the Masala (Gravy Base):
- Oil: 2 tbsp
- Onions: 2 medium sliced thinly or chopped finely
- Green Chilli: 1 chopped (adjust to taste)
- Tomatoes: 2 medium chopped
- Red Chilli Powder: 1 tbsp adjust for spice level
- Garam Masala: 1 tsp
- Cumin-Coriander Powder Dhana-Jeera: 1 tsp
- Butter: 1 tbsp salted or unsalted
- Fresh Coriander: Handful chopped
- Salt: To taste
- Optional: 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
Prepare the Egg Scramble Base:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or kadhai over medium heat.
Crack the 5 eggs directly into the pan.
Immediately add a pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp red chilli powder.
Scramble the eggs continuously for about 2 minutes until they are cooked but still soft. Do not overcook them.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same pan, add another 2 tablespoons of oil and let it heat up. You can also add a small knob of butter here if you like.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn translucent and slightly golden.
Optional Step: If you like extra flavour, add ginger-garlic paste now and cook for a minute.
Add the green chilli and chopped tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
Add Spices:
Lower the flame to prevent burning the spices.
Add 1 tbsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp cumin-coriander powder.
Season with salt (remember the eggs already have some salt, so be careful!).
Sauté the masala for 2 minutes until the oil starts to separate slightly. Add a little chopped coriander here for flavour infusion.
Combine and Finish:
Add the prepared scrambled eggs back into the pan with the masala.
Mix everything well so the eggs are coated with the spicy onion-tomato mixture.
Add 1 tbsp of butter and mix again. The butter gives the dish a glossy, rich finish.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it steam on low heat for 1 minute to meld the flavours.
