4 medium free-range eggs
Knob of butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 small bird’s eye chilli, finely chopped (leave the seeds in if you like it really spicy)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp curry powder
Splash double cream (optional)

Method

Beat the eggs together in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. When it begins to bubble, add the onion, garlic and chilli and cook for 3-4 minutes until just softened
but not coloured.
Add the cumin, turmeric and curry powder and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Add the beaten eggs and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring all the time, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking. If using the cream, add at the end of cooking and stir in. Finally, stir in the chopped coriander and serve with plenty of buttery toast and a large mug of tea.
