Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups fenugreek leaves (methi), washed and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced

  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 4–5 minutes until the egg whites are set.
  5. Sprinkle lemon juice and green chillies, and serve with roti.
