Weekend = yummy breakfast!

The whole week you get up early, rushing to work and there is hardly time for a small breakfast. Often it´s just a coffee to go or a little snack. If at all.. 

But then it´s finally weekend. You wake up with the feeling of having time. Time for yourself, for friends and family. And a good breakfast is part of it too. 
Newspapers on the table, a good cup of coffee or tea, leaving all the stress of the week behind. 
I often end up making some scrambled eggs and those don´t need to be done with bacon only.
There are many variations and this one has an indian touch.  


Scrambled eggs "desi style" 

ingredients for 4 people: 

2-3 tablespoons of oil 
8 eggs 
2 medium tomatoes, chopped (remove the seeds)  
half a bunch of spring onions, chopped
2 fresh green chillis, finely chopped (not a must!)
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder (or accordingly to taste) 
1/4 teaspoon of coriander powder  
(you can also add fresh coriander but then only at the end of the cooking time) 

Most of the spices are available in Asia-stores/ markets. There they are also at a lower price than in the supermarkets.   


Method: 

In a bowl mix the eggs, salt, kurkuma, chili powder and coriander powder. Whisk it properly, so that there are no lumps of the spices.  
Add the tomatoes and spring onions to the egg-mixture. 
Heat oil in a pan till shimmering. Add the fresh chillis and stir well for a minute.
Turn the heat down a little and add the eggs. Gently stir till the mixture curdles. About a minute or two.
Then put up the heat again. Stir now and then until the eggs are done but not too dry.
Have toast with it. 

With the same ingredients you can prepare an omelette too. You can vary it with different vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms. 

If you want to have the full flavour of the spices then put them into the hot oil and fry a bit, after that add the egg-tomatoe mixture.

Maybe you want to give it a try..
