Tips, food safety & substitutions
Keep the pan off the heat when adding the egg so it thickens the sauce instead of scrambling. Food safety: cook eggs until yolk and white are fully set and serve hot; cool leftovers within 2 hours and refrigerate, reheat once only. Allergens: contains egg; check milk, wheat and nut ingredients for your child. Pakistani alternatives: use Desi ghee or cooking oil instead of butter, whole-wheat roti or bran bread instead of white bread, and dahi instead of cream cheese.
