Umma’s Scrambled Eggs

Last night was not as bad as I thought. I had to take the metro and bus to go back home and by the time I reached, I was literally dead. But then, when my elder one was browsing through her cartoon channels, there came “Finding Nemo” on Disney Channel. Nobody else was there to disturb – umma and uppa had gone for their walks, B was studying and HD was as usual busy with work. So we three cuddled up and watched the movie, with live running commentary from my little one, who is a number one chatterbox!!! 🙂 She’s just two, but speaks quite a bit and by experience, I know that in couple of years, she’s going to be a silent cat!!! Had some awesome time. I really believe that if there is a category of people who can grate on your nerves so much that you would want to go to the dungeon but still love them without any boundaries, then it’s your children!!! 🙂

Coming to today’s recipe – I am one egg person. When I get bored, I boil an egg and eat. If I am really in a good mood, then it’s bull’s eye. But then when I am in an elaboratemood, then my thing is scrambled eggs!!! This was one recipe that my umma used to cook every Friday or public holidays for all of us when we were in school. Nobody knows the reason why she suddenly stopped making it. Recently, I asked her and she was blank. She said, “I just stopped, that’s it!!!” That’s how blunt my umma is! 🙂

 

My HD also being an egg person (one thing we have pathil pathu porutham – matching 10/10!!! Hehe…) loves to have his eggs this way. On a very lazy weekend morning, scrambled eggs are absolute comfort food. Couple it up with plain or buttered toasts and a glass of orange juice or a cup of hot tea/ coffee, that is what I call the perfect blissful breakfast!!! 🙂

Updated with new pictures on April 26, 2017 : I have been wanting to update this post since so long but each time I make it, we are too hungry that we just want to dig in. 😉 Finally I was able to do it. I changed the title to reflect “Umma’s Scrambled Eggs” since this is not the authentic recipe, I would like to call it a more Malabar style version with the onions and tomatoes. =D This is one of our favorite breakfasts, so totally deserved a much better picture… 🙂

 

 

Below is the old one… morning click but a lousy mobile click… I am sure I was hungry at that time too… 😉
