Instructions

  1. Deseed the chili and chop it finely. Dice the onion and peel and cube the tomato.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the chili, tomato, turmeric, cumin and salt. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until you have a thick sauce.
  4. Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them lightly, then pour them into the pan.
  5. Stir gently with a spatula for 2 to 3 minutes, without overcooking: the eggs should stay soft and creamy.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped coriander and black pepper, and serve right away with bread.

Variations and tips

Spicy version. Add a pinch of chili powder with the cumin for a more fiery flavor.

Using what you have. If fresh tomatoes are hard to find, use a drained can of chopped tomatoes.
