Masala Bread Scramble

Here's a quick and simple breakfast recipe for the days when you want to eat something different from the daily monotony, but are feeling too lazy to cook up an elaborate platter.

Serves: 2

Masala Bread Scramble ready to eat!

Ingredients:

• Bread Slices - 6 (Make it brown for a healthier alternative)
• Eggs - 3 No.s
• Onions - 2 No.s medium, chopped
• Tomatoes - 2 No.s, medium, finely chopped
• Green chilli - 1 small, chopped
• Black pepper powder - 1/4 tsp. (Or red chilli powder, whatever you like)
• Chaat Masala - 1/4 tsp.
• Fresh Coriander/Cilantro leaves for garnishing
• Salt to taste
• Oil - 1 tbsp.
• A pinch of love :)

Method:

1. Crumble the bread into small pieces using your hands. Whisk eggs in a bowl until smooth.
2. Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped chillies and onions. Cook on a medium flame until onions are translucent.
3. Add crumbled bread, turn up the heat to high. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until you see edges of the bread pieces getting toasted. Don't forget to keep stirring, the bread cooks up really fast.
4. Add eggs into the pan, keep stirring to make sure the eggs get scrambled and are evenly mixed. Cook for another 2 minutes. 
5. Add tomatoes and spices. Mix well. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes
6. Garnish with coriander/cilantro leaves (My favorite garnish!)
7. Serve with tomato ketchup on the side. Works great without any add-ons too!
8. Eat!

Tip:

This is how I made it this time, although I intend to modify the spices the next time around. Maybe add some oregano instead of the chaat masala. You can also choose to add the tomatoes after the onions instead of adding them in the end, or skipping them altogether. This tastes wonderful with just onions and green chillies too. Also, feel free to add your fav veggies to it - capsicum, peas, corn, carrots - or anything you can think of. I didn't add any since I wanted to keep it simple the first time around. Also, you can put the ketchup in just before you turn off the heat and toss it around well, so you don't have to go through messy ketchup on your plates! Tell me if this works for you, and if you have quick and easy breakfast recipes, let me know!
