scrambled egg/egg burji with bottle gourd

Scrambled eggs is a dish made from beaten whites and yolks of eggs .Beaten eggs are put into a hot greased pan and stirred frequently, forming curds as they coagulate.Scrambled eggs are made special with chopped veggies and green onions.You can mix any vegetables..here i have mixed bottle gourd.You can also mix tomoto,cabbage,cauliflower etc.

The main adavantage of mixing other veggies is ,if you are health concious,dont want to eat many eggs in a single day and also you need the quantity of curry should be more especially if you have invited your guests to dinner/lunch..this curry will be easy to make and no need to use many eggs in the curry just add other veggies inorder to gain the curry quantity :)

Even if you added bottle gourd,the taste doesn't change..it tastes more with bottle gourd rather than single egg!!

Ingredients:

Organic/normal Eggs-3
Onions-1 small
bottle gourd-1/2 small one
green chilli-2(slit)
salt to taste
red chilli powder-1/2 tsp
turmeric powder-1/4 th tsp
garam masala powder-1/4 th tsp
cilantro and green onions for garnishing -optional


Preparation:

1.cut onions finely,peel the skin of bottle gourd and shred the gourd using food processor.

2.Heat enough oil in the pan,add all seasoning ingredients and fry till golden brown and then add onions and green chillies, fry untill onion becomes transparent.

3.Now add shredded bottle gourd to it and fry till all the moisture evoparates in it.Add turmeric and salt and mix well.

4.Move the above whole mixture to the sides of the pan and break the egg and pour egg yolk and whites in the middle of the pan.

5.If you want bigger curds,dont mix freequently..otherwise mix freequently and fry till all the egg mixture is fried/cooked properly.

6.Add red chilli powder,garam masala powder to it and mix well and let it fry for 2 min and then remove from the heat.

7.This is good to eat with rice/chapathi's.
