Every morning, like clock work I get up and make a 2 egg scrambled egg for my dad for breakfast. Sometimes, if I am really really lazy and time is against me, then I fry the egg… to which he grumbles because he can’t eat the crispy bottom of the egg. So 99% of the time it is a scrambled egg.

I was reading Madhur Jeffery’s Indian cookbook, where she has a recipe for Parso Scrambled eggs.

I was reading through the list of ingredients and I had everything in my pantry and I set my alarm clock a little bit early so that there would be enough time for all the prep, after all it is not every day that I actually have all the ingredients for a recipe, without having to make a pit stop at the store on the way off.

I was surprised, that this egg was delicious and not funny after taste, no crispy parts and definitely no heart burn, seeing as tomatoes gives my dad heart burn.
