Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (முட்டை)
  • 2 tbsp milk (பால்)
  • 5 mushrooms, chopped (மஸ்ரூம்)
  • 1 green chilli, chopped (பச்சை மிளகாய்)
  • 3 shallots, chopped (சின்ன வெங்காயம்)
  • 1 tomato, sliced into rounds (தக்காளி)
  • 1 slice cheese, grated (சீஸ்)
  • half tbsp pepper powder (மிளகு தூள்)
  • quarter tbsp turmeric powder, plus salt to taste (மஞ்சள் தூள், உப்பு)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (தேங்காய் எண்ணெய்)

Method

  1. Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, turmeric and pepper; the milk makes the base puff up.
  2. Saute the shallots, chilli and mushroom with a pinch of salt in a little oil until half cooked; set aside.
  3. On low heat, oil a tawa, pour in the egg mix and scatter the mushroom mixture over it.
  4. Lay tomato slices on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
  5. Cover and cook until set, then serve.
Tips

Swap the mushroom for cooked cauliflower, mutton or chicken to make other versions.
