Parsee cook Farzana Contractor makes Akoori, a dish of creamy scrambled eggs full of fresh Indian flavours

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium Onions, diced
  • 3 large cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1-2 green chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 1 cm Ginger, grated
  • 1 large Tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped Coriander
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • sprig Mint, leaves shredded

Method

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion until golden. Add the garlic and green chillies and fry for a minute. Add the ginger to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds before adding half the tomato and a large pinch of coriander - fry for another minute.

2. Whisk the eggs, milk and salt until combined. Take the pan off the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Return the pan to a medium-low heat and stir until the mixture lightly sets - it should have a creamy texture.

3. Stir in the remaining tomatoes and coriander, and the chopped mint. Serve straight away with hot, buttered toast.
