FAQs for Golden Masala Egg Scramble

Can I use regular oil instead of ghee?

Yes, you can! While ghee adds a unique flavor, regular olive oil or vegetable oil will work just fine. Ghee does give a richer taste, but the dish will still be delicious with your preferred oil.

Can I make this ahead of time?

While scrambled eggs are best served fresh, you can make the spice base (onions, tomatoes, and spices) ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When ready to eat, just add the eggs and cook them up!

Can I substitute the eggs with a plant-based option?

Yes! If you’re vegan or prefer a plant-based option, you can substitute the eggs with a tofu scramble. Use firm tofu, crumbled into small pieces, and follow the same seasoning process for a flavorful alternative.

What can I serve this scramble with?

Golden Masala Egg Scramble pairs beautifully with toasted bread, roti, or naan. You can also serve it with a side of sautéed vegetables, a light salad, or even some yogurt for a refreshing contrast.

How spicy is this scramble?

This scramble has a mild heat level, but you can adjust the spice by increasing or decreasing the amount of red chili powder based on your preference. If you prefer it milder, just skip the chili powder altogether.
