1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
3/4 tsp Chilli powder
2 Tomatoes
4 Eggs
110 ml Milk (1/4 cup)
to taste Salt
1/2 Bunch coriander (cilantro) leaves

Preparation process

• Break the eggs and add them into a mixing bowl.
• Add 1/4 of a cup of milk, and mix them together with a whisk
• Cut the ends of the onion, peel off the skin, cut it in half, then chop into fine pieces
• Chop the chilies (you may want to dip your fingers in oil first to avoid being stung by the chili juice)
• Chop the tomatoes and ginger into fine pieces
• Chop up half a bunch of coriander.
• Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan, over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and chilies to the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add the ginger, along with 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and 3/4 teaspoon of chili powder. Fry for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and stir everything together over a medium heat until the tomatoes have turned to pulp. You might need to add a little water along the way, to make this happen. Stir and cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes
• After the 10 minutes have elapsed, add the egg and milk mixture. Keep stirring until the egg is cooked and solid.
  Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and serve.
