# 2: Scrambled Egg

Scrambled eggs aka egg burji ( as written on most of the indian canteens/mess)!!! I have fond memories of this dish. There have been days when all three meals a day have been ~~ scrambled eggs served with parathas or toasted bread or just pulkas ( roti's without oil).  Its also one of the first dishes i learnt seeing mom, and that i must admit (without boasting) was in school!

Scrambled eggs can be made in various fashions, depending on the likes of a person and the time of the day he is planning to eat it. For breakfast, some would like like scrambled egg whites served with toasted bread-butter and a glass of fruit juice or tea or milkshake. For a brunch, it may turn out to be something more filing by adding onions, veggies, cheese etc. and served with paratha (oiled rotis).  It ideally just takes10 mins to prepare.


Just yesterday... We were in hurry and with weekend around the corner and groceries yet to be bought...Eggs are always a saving grace! ;)

So here's my variation to the regular scrambled eggs i prepare. Considering years of practice! ;)

Ingredients:

  1. Eggs - 2
  2. Onions -1 (finely chopped)
  3. Tomatoes -2 (finely chopped)
  4. Corriander leaves - a few ( 3-4 stems) (finely chopped)
  5. Green Chill - 1 or 2
  6. Pepper- 1 Tsp
  7. Milk
Procedure:

Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add 1 Tbsp of milk to it and beat the eggs again. 
Add the onions into a hot pan with 1 tbsp of oil. Fry the onions on low-medium flame untill gloden brown. Add tomatoes into the pan. Leave the tomatoes and onions to cook. Add salt as per taste. Also, add in the finely chopped green chillis (circular rings). 

Once the tomatoes and onions cook, add the beaten egg, corriander leaves, pepper, and 2 TBsp of milk into the pan. Stir a little and cover with a lid for the egg to cook and bloat up. Later, stir the mixture well.

Scrambled eggs are ready to be served!!! :)

Njoi!

PS: Serves 3 ppl. Serve the eggs with toasted bread butter or parathas with a glass of juice or milkshake.

Variations:

1. Beat the eggs with salt and red chilli powder only and fry it in a pan. Stir well. ( with yoke or even with out egg yoke)
2. Add grated cheese to the scrambled egg at the end just before serving.
3. Add capsicum and other veggies of your choice to make it more filling.

Keep innovating! 
& hey! do let me know too............... ;)
