Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

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.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Turn off the heat.
  • Garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander.
  • Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side!
