Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the potatoes and masala
  • 3 medium potatoes boiled, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 medium tomato chopped
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red chilli
  • 3/4 tsp salt or to taste
For the eggs
  • 3 eggs whisked with a pinch of salt
  • 3 green chillies sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. When they sizzle, add the onion and fry until soft and light golden.
  2. Add ginger garlic paste and fry for 30 seconds. Add tomato, turmeric, red chilli powder, crushed red chilli and salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the tomato is soft.
  3. Add the potato cubes and toss gently to coat in the masala. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and pour the whisked eggs over the potatoes. Leave for 20 seconds, then stir gently until the eggs set into soft curds.
  5. Add green chillies and coriander, mix once and turn off the heat. Serve hot with paratha or roti.

Notes

Use leftover boiled potatoes for a 15-minute version. Keep the heat low when adding eggs so they stay soft.
