“Masala Egg Scramble with Veggies” … eggs in any form are a favorite, be it for bf/ lunch, brunch or dinner ... scrambled eggs with masala has always been a favorite at home … tried giving a new twist by adding on veggies including raw mango and ground masala … served with mumbai pav/ bread for lunch and it was a excellent combination … Yummilicious …
** Eggs/ Motto/ Andey are full of proteins and a wonderful way to have regularly for a healthy lifestyle without falling into the trap of popping in multi- vitamin pills that are often prescribed these days. Well, at least for non- vegetarians it is one of the best way to go about and I make it a point to atleast have 3 eggs in a week which is I presume sufficient in terms of vitamins as there are other pulses and dals which are consumed which again do have good source of proteins for all, so do include them.
** Coming to eggs, in my home we like it cooked any way, be it boiled, curry, scrambled, omelette, in soups, etc. and I love experimenting with it, though I have yet to go in for bakes that include them. I love bakery products but those who follow me are sure to notice less blogging of the same, however I do intend to try my hand at baking soon, let’s see, I am hoping for the best always. As for now lets enjoy scrambled eggs which this time I prepared with veggies and ground masala.
** For scrambled eggs, I used to add in only spice powders whenever I prepared them, this time, however, I thought why not try adding some ground masala and more veggies as I had decided to serve it for meals. Instead of tomatoes too, I added raw mangoes that’s in season now, however you can leave it out too. Do try out this method of masala scrambled eggs with veggies which is a complete meal by itself. We had it for lunch with Mumbai pav/ bread and it was an excellent choice, truly fantastic.
