The Indian Grocers

After yoga class I drove to the Indian grocers to replenish my stocks of Indian spices. I arrived home with a bag full of aromatic goodies. Wonderful jasmine and bergamot incense, sandal wood soap, ground cumin and coriander powders as well as whole cumin and coriander seeds and a bag full of curry leaves.
I brought them home and unpacked them, stopping to inhale every few minutes. It was lunch time and I was starving.
But what is a girl to do! Tuna salad ala Hellmans just would not cut it after all those lovely aromas! So this is what I made based on a recipe I found in an Indian cookbook.

1/2 8 0z can tomato and green chili (Mexican style)
2 Tbs Butter
3 Eggs
1/2 cup onions
1 clove minced Garlic
1/4 tsp Whole Cumin seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves

Drain the tomatoes in a colander and on paper towels. Don't be a fanatic about it.
Meanwhile melt the butter and cook then onions until they begin to turn golden brown.
While they are cooking beat your eggs with a little water and ground black pepper. Keep aside.
Add the cumin seeds and turmeric to the onion mixture in the frying pan, give them a stir and let them sizzle on med hi heat for a minute.
Turn down the heat and add the garlic.
Add your tomato/green chili mixture. Cook for one minute.
Add the eggs to the pan and scramble them.
Add fresh Coriander leaves.
