Ingredients

  • 10 bunches methi
  • 3&1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 5 dry chillies see note 1
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 small tomato skin removed and grated
  • pinch of sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onion and chillies. Fry until onion is slightly brown
  • Add the turmeric and tomato and cook for 5 minutes
  • Add the methi herbs and season with salt
  • Keep the pan uncovered and cook the herbs for 8-10 minutes. It will reduce quite a bit and also change to a dark green colour
  • Add the eggs, one at a time. Gently break up the eggs with a spoon
  • Cook until eggs are just starting to firm up. Turn off the heat and allow eggs to cook further in the pan. You do not want the eggs to be hard so don't overcook
  • Serve immediately with fresh bread or roti

Notes

  1. You can replace the dry chillies with green chillies or add some green chillies with the dry chillies, if you prefer more heat
  2. I do not add garlic to this dish and therefore it is not in the ingredient list
