  • Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add chopped tomatoes along with turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the spices are fragrant. Add more oil if needed to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • Extra Spice: For a spicier scramble, finely chop an additional green chili and add it after the ginger paste.
