Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop onions, bell pepper, and tomatoes into small dice; beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding onions and bell peppers for 3 minutes until soft.

  3. 3

    Add chopped tomatoes, curry powder, and dried thyme, cooking for 3 minutes until the sauce is reduced and aromatic.

  4. 4

    Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the vegetable mixture and let set untouched for 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Gently fold and push the eggs with a spatula from edges to centre for 2 to 3 minutes until softly set curds form.

  6. 6

    Remove immediately from the heat to keep the scramble juicy and tender.
