For 2 servings
In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs. Add a pinch of salt and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely blended and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the finely chopped onion and green chilies. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions soften and become translucent.
Add 1 tsp of ginger-garlic paste and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the raw aroma disappears.
Stir in the finely chopped tomato, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, and the remaining salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes, mashing the tomatoes with your spatula, until they break down and the oil begins to separate from the masala.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the sides. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Avoid overcooking to keep them moist.
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of garam masala and 2 tbsp of chopped fresh coriander leaves over the eggs. Gently fold them in.
