Golden turmeric and chilli scrambled eggs
DAIRY FREE II GLUTEN FREE II NUT FREE II SESAME FREE
I love quick, simple breakfasts, and this one can be made in just under 10 minutes. My mom used to make this recipe of eggs for dinner and serve it with chapattis. However, it’s just as great to have for breakfast too.
It’s an Indianised version of the classic British breakfast. Scrambled eggs with onions, cumin, turmeric, garam masala and coriander. its such a lovely twist.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Bread
I used spelt sourdough that I buy from the Waitrose bakery its real sourdough in the fact that they don’t add extra yeast. Sourdough is naturally leavened bread, which means it doesn’t use commercial yeast to rise. Instead, it uses a ‘starter’ – a fermented flour and water mixture that contains wild yeast and good bacteria to rise.
This also produces the tangy flavour and slightly chewy texture you’ll find in sourdough. Wild yeast has more flavour than commercial yeast and is natural in the sense that it doesn’t contain any additives.
If you need to eat gluten free swap the sourdough with your usual brand of GF bread.
Turmeric
The spice known as turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence. Many high-quality studies show that turmeric has major benefits for your body and brain. Many of these benefits come from its main active ingredient, curcumin. Read on to learn what the science says about turmeric and curcumin as well as their benefits here.
Ingredients
Eggs
Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein. Always choose organic free-range where possible.
Feeds 1 - 10 minutes cooking time
Step by step
Recipe
1 tsp olive oil or butter
1/4 onion diced
1 green chilli
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp ground cumin
tbsp coriander chopped
2 large organic eggs
Method
Heat the frying pan and sweat the onions and chilli till soft.
Add the turmeric and other spices and cook out for a couple of minutes.
Then add the eggs and scramble together for a few seconds till cooked.
Finish with chopped coriander. I served my eggs on sourdough toast, caramelised red onions and grilled cherry tomatoes and all within 10 minutes.
Variations
If you eat tofu then that would be a great substitute for the eggs. I sometimes add extra veggies at the stage where I sweat the onions so feel free to experiment.
