Indian Version of American Breakfast

This is kind of mornings when I had swimming lesson in the afternoon and wanted to eat something heavy few hours before the lesson so that I won't feel hungry right after the lesson. Obviously because I wouldn't want to cook after a tiring workout  :).


Anyways, so had lots of eggs at hand and didn't wanna go the usual bread omelette route. So thought instead of adding veggies in the mixture lets make veggies first and then try what comes out of it. Gave it a try, and it turned out yummmmmm. Do try it, it is very simple but delicious and heart full breakfast for saturday mornings.

Best part of this is you can use any veggies you like, whatever is your favorite. Do experimentation with it :)

Ingredients:

1 small onion - finely chopped
2 small tomatoes - finely chopped
1/4 green,red and yellow capsicums - finely chopped
1/4 cup corn - boiled
1/4 cup mushrooms
4 eggs
1/4 cup grated cheese - I used cheddar, you can use any cheese you like or even combination of cheeses
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
salt
black pepper
2 tbsp butter

Spices:

1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder

Recipe:

1. Heat a pan, put butter in it and let it melt.
2. After butter is melted add onions and mushrooms and saute them on high heat until onions are translucent and get a bit of color. (Do this on high heat since you don't want mushrooms to get soggy. Keep stirring it as we don't want to get anything burnt)
3. Once mushrooms and onions get that little bit of color on them, reduce flame at medium and add tomatoes,corn and capsicum. Cook them for 4-5 minutes or until everything is properly cooked.
4. Add salt,pepper and ketchup as per your taste. Stir for about a minute to let everything mix well together.
5. Now make four holes like spaces in your mixture in the pan, reduce the flame at low-medium. Crack four eggs in four holes such that egg yolk sits inside that hole.
6. Spread grated cheese on top.
7. Cover the pan with the lid and let eggs cook in steam. You can cook as per you like your eggs. What I mean by that is, if you like your eggs runny, cooking for about 30-45 seconds will be enough. If you like them fully cooked, give it a 11/2 minutes.


8. Take each egg block (couldn't think of any better name :( ) out and server hot with homemade toast/bread Home Made Bread Recipe
