How to cook it
-
Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and set aside.
-
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and saute the onion until soft and turning golden, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the tomato, green chilies, ginger, and turmeric, and cook until the tomato softens and the raw smell fades, about 4 minutes.
-
Pour in the whisked eggs along with the milk and let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds before gently folding and scrambling.
-
Cook just until the eggs are softly set and still a little glossy, then take off the heat right away so they don't overcook.
-
Scatter with cilantro and serve immediately.
