Scrambled eggs rolled in with parathas were always a quick and easy go-to for breakfast. It was easy to prepare in a short amount of time for so many kids, and it was substantial!! Along with what we called Tiffin Allu (potatoes), it was a quick fix for lunch on most school days. Some of our friends, tired of their sandwiches, would swap lunch with us, and we would sit and enjoy each other’s meal.

I have also added left-over cooked rice to the eggs as a quick meal. It also tastes great on toast topped with ketchup! My favorite way to have it is with parathas.

Scrambled eggs rolled in tortillas or parathas, a quick and easy go-to snack. Also perfect for egg wraps!

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • ½ medium onion (yellow or red)
  • 1 Serrano chili (finely diced, optional)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh green coriander (choped)
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (olive or coconut oil)
  • ¼ tsp mustard seeds
  • tsp pepper or cracked pepped powder
  • 3 fresh curry leaves (optional, found at Indian grocery stores)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions 

  • Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add mustard seeds. They will start to splutter. After about 30 seconds, add the curry leaves and the chopped chili. Stir a couple of times and then add the chopped onions and sauté until onions are translucent and start to brown slightly. About 3 minutes.
  • Now add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until tomatoes start to lose their moisture.
  • Now add the beaten eggs and stir briskly into the tomato-onion mixture.
  • Continue cooking until the eggs are cooked and not runny.
  • Sprinkle with the chopped coriander and stir a few times.
  • Remove pan from heat and spoon into a serving dish.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining chopped coriander.
  • Serve for breakfast with toast or parathas.

Notes

You can also use all egg whites or one yolk and the rest egg whites. I prefer it with yolks.
For Egg Wraps:
Wrap the scrambled eggs in tortillas that have been lightly sautéed in a frying pan with a little oil.
For parathas:
You can buy a packet of plain ready made parathas at any Indian Grocery Stores. Trader Joe's also sells great Malabar parathas.
