Cooking Instructions

  3. Sprinkle in the coriander powder, roasted cumin powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and sauté for another minute.
  4. Make some space in the center of the pan and crack the three eggs directly into that space.
  5. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.
  6. Serve hot, either on its own or with fresh bread.

Notes

To elevate the experience, serve alongside warm pita bread or a fresh salad. A dollop of yogurt on the side adds a refreshing contrast. You can also add spinach or swap out bell peppers for zucchini or mushrooms for creative twists.
