- 1/2 teaspoon ginger finely chopped
- 1/8 pinch hing
- few curry leaves
Instructions
- Crack open 2 eggs in a bowl. I always crack the eggs in a bowl even if its to be added as such without mixing, as if we directly crack open it in the pan and incase if any one egg also gets spoilt then the whole dish gets wasted. Add little salt to it.
- Beat it well using a fork, Set aside.
- In a pan heat 2 teaspoon oil add 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds let it splutter.
- Add 1 green chilli, 1/2 teaspoon ginger finely chopped. Give a quick saute.

- Saute until onions turn transparent.
- Add beaten eggs mixture.
- Start scrambling it keeping the flame in low. Scrap the sides then and there.
- Once eggs are scrambled and cooked it is almost done.
- Add 1/8 teaspoon pepper powder along with a pinch of crushed pepper.
- Give a quick mix. Add curry leaves. You can add curry leaves while tempering also. Adding curry leaves at the end gives more flavour to the dish.
- Mix well and switch off. Egg Stir Fry or Egg Poriyal is ready.

Notes
- You can even add any veggie along with eggs, like carrot, greens, cabbage etc.
- Pepper is must for this stir fry. Ginger is optional but I like the flavour so added it.
- I am buying country eggs these days so used that for this stir fry. You can use normal white egss too.
- Adding more onions gives a nice crunch and flavour to the dish.
- If you are planning to make for kids you can skip green chillies and replace it with little more pepper powder.
- Scramble the eggs in low flame so that the eggs don't get burnt. After egg is added, keep stirring and fluffing.
