This is our family’s favorite Sunday dish. Just chop all the ingredients finely before you start. Its very easy to make and can be put together in less than 10 minutes. I like to add asafoetida / hing to my eggs. Renowned Indian cookbook author Madhur Jaffrey says that asafoetida is kind of like truffles. It has a truffle like aroma. If you do not like the flavor of asafoetida, you can leave it from the recipe. This recipe is an eggs-cellent way to start the day! ‘Love and eggs are best when they are fresh’. So lets get started with Scrambled eggs Super-dee-Dooper-dee-Booper Special de luxe a-la-Peter T. Hooper.
Chop ginger, green chillies and curry leaves very finely. Set aside. Heat couple of tablespoons of oil in a pan and add in the cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Let it pop. Add in the chopped ginger, green chillies and curry leaves and fry for 10 seconds.
Add in a finely chopped onion and fry in medium flame for a couple of minutes until soft. Add in the asafoetida (optional) , salt, pepper powder and turmeric. Turmeric gives the scrambled eggs a bright yellow color. Saute for a minute more. Add in the eggs all at once.
Add in the spring onions and coriander leaves. Stir to mix and scramble the eggs to the doneness you like. Remove off heat and serve.
