Egg with Bell Peppers and Mushrooms

One of the simple dishes that I used to love in my childhood days. Mom used to prepare this with hot chappathis and I remember asking for more always. For people on diet, this is an excellent recipe to appease your hunger, substituting the potatoes with cauliflower.

You may serve it with chappathis or rice.

Ingredients:

Eggs – 2

Bell Pepper/Capsicum (Any colour) – 1

Button Mushrooms – 4 or 5 pieces

Potatoes – 1 big

Onion – 1 big

Tomato – 1 medium

Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp

Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp

Salt to taste

Oil – 1 tbsp + 1 tsp

Preparation:

Slice the onions and capsicums into thin circles. Also, chop tomatoes and slice the potatoes into thin circles and keep it aside. In a bowl, beat the eggs, pepper powder (1/2 tsp) and enough salt and keep it aside.

Heat a pan and add oil. When it is hot, add the onions and fry till it is translucent. Next, add the mushrooms and potatoes and saute till it is half cooked. Add a little salt so that the potatoes absorb some of the salt. Now add the tomatoes and saute. Close and let the potatoes cook. Next, add the capsicums and cook until they are just crunchy. Do not overcook the capsicums. Take it out and keep it aside.

In the same pan, add 1 tsp of oil and add the beaten eggs and stir. When they are half done, add the veggies and stir fry.

Put off the flame and take it out when the veggies are coated with the egg. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp pepper powder and serve hot.
