The Lazy Cook

Mentioned scrambled eggs to my daughter-on-law (of Punjabi heritage) the other day "Oh, you really want to try Indian eggs" she said,  So here's her recipe -
Beat your eggs and put them to one side to rest.
In your frying pan, or wok, put a small handful of cumin seeds and dry-fry them until they start to crackle and pop
Add some crushed garlic, crushed ginger, chopped onions and green chillies
Sauté until the onions start to colour
Add some chopped tomatoes and cook until they have gone into a mush
Now add a little butter (ghee if you want to be authentic) and the eggs and stir until scrambled
And there you are - like most Indian home recipes the quantities are left to you, particularly when it come to spices - you may for instance wish to consider whether to de-seed the chillies.
