Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add salt and black pepper, then whisk lightly with a fork until just combined. Don't over-beat. Set aside.
2
Make the tempering.
- Heat coconut oil in a non-stick pan or kadai over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter, which takes about 30 seconds.
- Add the urad dal and sauté until it turns light golden, about 30-40 seconds.
- Carefully add the curry leaves and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
3
Add the finely chopped onion, green chilies, and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
4
Scramble the eggs.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the turmeric powder and give it a quick stir to cook for 10 seconds.
- Pour in the beaten egg mixture.
- Let the eggs sit for about 20-30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

Gently scramble by pushing the cooked portions from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking and scrambling for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked through but still soft and moist.

Turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.

Pro Tips

1For a softer, fluffier texture, cook the eggs on low heat and avoid stirring them constantly.
2Do not overcook the eggs, as they will become dry and rubbery. They should be just set but still moist.
3Using a non-stick pan is highly recommended for easy cooking and cleanup.
4For a richer flavor, you can add 2 tablespoons of grated fresh coconut along with the coriander leaves at the end.
5Adjust the number of green chilies to suit your preferred spice level.
