1 tbsp Butter, for frying
1 tsp Chili Powder
Salt, as per taste
Black Pepper, as per taste

Materials Needed

Non-stick Frying Pan
Metal/ Glass Mixing Bowl
Spatula/ Flat Wooden Spoon

Instructions

First of all, you need to place a large, non-stick frying pan on medium flame.
Till the time the pan heats up, take a large mixing bowl and break the eggs into it.
Add milk and salt to the eggs. Add chili powder and black pepper and stir well, so that all the contents blend well into each other.
With the help of a spoon, beat the eggs vigorously, for around 2 minutes.
Alternatively, you can put the eggs in the blender and blend for 20 to 25 seconds.
Put butter in the frying pan.
Just when it is about to melt down completely, add the beaten eggs.
Don’t start stirring the eggs immediately, rather wait till you see them setting a bit.
Now, take a spatula or a flat wooden spoon and push the eggs towards the center of the pan.
Keep tilting the pan, so as to distribute the runny parts.
Keep on pushing the eggs and tilting the pan for a while.
At the same time, break apart any large pieces that have formed, with the spoon/ spatula.
When you feel that the eggs have almost cooked, stop pushing them and flip them over completely.
Cook the eggs for another 20-25 seconds.
Now, put the scrambled eggs on a plate and add salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips

You can add cottage cheese to add to the flavor of the scrambled eggs.
A bit of garlic powder can give a distinct flavor to the recipe.
Use barbecue sauce or a small quantity of salsa to give extra flavor to your recipe.
You can serve the scrambled egg with toast or a bagel. Use parsley for giving a tempting garnish to the recipe.
Herbs like oregano and dill can be sprinkled on the top of the egg, as the dressing on the recipe.
To get some difference in the taste of egg, you can try adding some onions into the beaten eggs. Do not add raw onion in the egg, but chop them into fine pieces and fry them in little butter first. Add the fried onion into the beaten eggs and then scramble as above.
