Let’s dive into the magic of Egg Rice, where taste meets time-saving grace!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion
- 3 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 bowl of cooked rice or leftover rice
- A pinch of MSG (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Maggi masala (or any preferred masala seasoning)
- 3 green chilies, chopped
- Fresh coriander, for garnishing
Instructions:
Sautéing the Onions:
Place a kadai (a thick-bottomed frying pan) on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and slightly sizzle. Once the butter is slightly hot, add the finely chopped onions. Sauté them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Scrambling the Eggs:
Push the sautéed onions to one side of the kadai. Crack 3 eggs into the clear space and scramble them using a spatula. Allow the eggs to cook and mix them with the sautéed onions, creating a perfect blend of flavors.
Seasoning and Mixing:
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs and onion mixture according to your taste. Gently mix the seasoned eggs and onions. Now, add the cooked rice to the kadai and toss it well with the eggs and onions, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the flavors.
Enhancing the Flavor:
For an extra burst of taste, add a pinch of MSG (if using) and 1/2 teaspoon of Maggi masala (or your preferred masala seasoning). The seasoning elevates the dish, making every bite a delightful experience.
Adding Spice and Garnish:
Incorporate the chopped green chilies, giving the dish a spicy kick. Finish by garnishing with fresh coriander leaves, adding a burst of color and a refreshing touch.
