Back in 2012, when I auditioned for Master Chef Season 3 with Gordon Ramsay- this egg curry recipe won me my Master Chef Apron. After all these years, I decided to share my recipe with everyone:
Ingredients
Onions- 3 medium diced fine
Tomatoes- 4 diced
Eggs- 6 boiled and peeled and chopped in halves
Garlic- 5 cloves minced
1/2 inch of fresh ginger
1 Clove, 1 Cardamom, a small piece of Cinnamon
Oil- any -I prefer coconut or sesame oil for this recipe
Salt to taste
Cayenne powder- 1 teaspoon
Curry powder or Garam Masala- 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves -3/4, Cilantro and mustard seeds-1/2 tsp for garnish
Preparation:
Place a pan under medium flame and add 1 tablespoon oil. In this recipe I use my garnish in the first step
Throw in mustard seeds, curry leaves, clove, cardamom and cinnamon till they splutter. Add in ginger, garlic, onions and mix with salt to taste, cayenne and spices like curry powder/ garam masala.
Add tomatoes and mix well. Keep covered after adding 1/4 cup of water and let it cook until all tomatoes are stewed and release oil.
Now add in the eggs and fold in gently with the onion tomato paste gently and cook for 2 minutes.
Everyone heard of scrambled eggs but my “Masala Scrambled Eggs” are to die for! Try my recipe this Easter and rediscover scrambled eggs for dinner – yes you heard it right- not for breakfast!

Nutrition Facts
Eggs:
One egg is considered to be the equivalent (for protein) to one ounce of meat. One of the egg’s most important nutritional benefits is that it is the best source of a B vitamin called choline. Eggs are a good food source of certain vitamins and minerals essential for good health. Eggs are rich in riboflavin (vitamin B2). Eggs are a good source of minerals like phosphorous and selenium. Egg yolks provide rich source of lutein which is one of the carotenoids that acts as an important antioxidant.
