Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 10 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in green chilies and tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes soften and the mixture becomes pulpy, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another minute.

  6. 6

    Pour in the beaten eggs. Let them sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir and fold with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just cooked through but still soft and moist (not dry).

  8. 8

    Sprinkle garam masala and fresh cilantro. Give a final gentle stir and remove from heat.

  9. 9

    Serve hot with toast, roti, or stuffed in a wrap.
