• 1/2 Teaspoon of Garam Masala
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• PAM Spray or Olive oil Spray

In a mixing bowl add all the above ingredients and whisk for few seconds. Spray some olive oil on an omelet pan. Pour the egg mixture in the omelet pan. Cook both sides by flipping the omelet. Serve with hot sauce or ketchup.

Place the tostada on a plate. Keep the fried egg on the tostada and pour the sauce on the fried egg and serve!

Egg Curry

Egg curry is a side that I make often when I go out of option. It goes very well with rice and chapathi. It can be made in no time. I used a store bought curry powder. Instead you can also use red chilly powder. Here is the recipe.

• 1 Teaspoon of mustard
• 2 Tablespoon of corriander leaves

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the mustard seeds, curry leaves and cummin seeds and allow them to splutter. Add the curry powder, salt and onions and saute for sometime. Add the eggs and saute for few minutes. Serve hot with rice or chapathi.

Egg Dumplings

Egg is a staple food in our everyday diet. I cook eggs for breakfast almost everyday. I learned a lot of simple mexican breakfasts from my dear friend. In addition I try to come out with my own recipes. Here is one such recipe - scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs go well with bread toast.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of finely chopped onions(I am not mentioning the size of the onions because the size ofthe onions in the US varies. I bought jumbo onions this time. I can use one onion for 3 days. They are so big)

• 1 Bell Pepper seeded and finely chopped (Any color is fine)
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped tomato
• Salt and Pepper

You can add shredded cheese to the scrambled eggs if desired. To make this dish Indianized you can add garlic powder and garam masala while whisking the eggs.
