Prepare

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and green chilli. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes, until the onion has turned golden.
-
Step 2.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes to the pan, mix well, and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the tomatoes have started to soften.
-
Step 3.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and let cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the eggs begin to set around the edge of the pan. Then stir everything together until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
-
Step 4.
Add the finely chopped spring onions and coriander leaves, give the scrambled eggs one final mix, and serve immediately.
