6 large eggs 2 tablespoons butter ½ teaspoon cumin seeds ¼ cup chopped onions 2 teaspoons chopped garlic 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chillies ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder 2 tablespoons milk ½ teaspoon salt, to taste 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
Using a wire whisk, crack eggs into a mixing basin and whisk them thoroughly. Place them aside.
In a pan, heat butter over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and wait for them to crackle for 4-5 seconds.
Add the onions and cook them until they start to brown slightly. Add the garlic and green chillies.
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the turmeric powder and stir for a few seconds.
Turn the heat down to low and add the milk, salt and whisked eggs to the pan. Continue scrambling the eggs with a spatula.
