Tips, food safety & substitutions
Do not overcook the broccoli — it should stay bright green and slightly firm. Food safety: cook the eggs until fully set. Allergens: contains egg. Substitute: use cauliflower or green beans instead of broccoli, or add a spoon of dahi on the side. This is a light, balanced meal — it is not a weight-loss treatment.
