Notes
- Always crack open the eggs in a separate bowl. If you break all eggs directly in the pan and incase if one of your egg turns out to be spoilt the whole dish itself will be spoilt.
- Make sure to use a heavy bottomed pan or kadai as egg sticks while scrambling. The base of the pan should be thick – I used my cast iron skillet.
- The recipe can be doubled, tripled as per your preference.
- While scrambling if you like soft scramble then you can stop when its slightly goey and proceed with the steps. If you like it more hard and toasty then scramble and cook for 2 more mins. I made it in between as thats how we like it.
- You can even add a pinch of pav bhaji or chana masala powder.
- Adjust spice powders according to your taste.
