Scramble the Eggs
Garnish and Serve
Add 1/4 cup of cooked small shrimp or chopped Goan sausage (chorizo) along with the onions for a heartier, more savory dish.
Replace the eggs with 200g of crumbled firm tofu. Sauté the tofu with the masala for 3-4 minutes until it is heated through and well-coated with the spices.
Incorporate 1/4 cup of finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum) or mushrooms when you sauté the onions for added nutrition and texture.

The use of fresh coconut and coconut oil provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digestible fats that can serve as a quick source of energy.
This dish combines vegetables like onions and tomatoes with eggs, providing a good mix of essential vitamins (like Vitamin D and B12) and minerals (like iron and selenium).

Yes, it is a nutritious dish. Eggs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients. The vegetables and spices offer vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It's a balanced and flavorful breakfast choice when consumed in moderation.
This dish is best enjoyed immediately after cooking, as reheated eggs can become tough. However, you can prepare the masala base (onions, tomatoes, spices, coconut) in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, simply reheat the masala and scramble fresh eggs into it.
Traditionally, it is served with Goan pav (soft bread rolls). It also pairs wonderfully with buttered toast, chapatis, or as a filling for a wrap.
If fresh coconut is unavailable, you can use frozen grated coconut (thawed before use) or unsweetened desiccated coconut. If using desiccated coconut, soak it in 2-3 tablespoons of warm water for 10-15 minutes to rehydrate it before adding it to the pan.
