Scrambled Eggs


No English breakfast is complete without eggs, and scrambled is typically the way to go. In India, we cook almost everything over direct flame and that's one of the main reasons our scrambled eggs turn out dry. If you want delicately cooked eggs that are creamy and melt-in-the-mouth, the double boiler method is much more suited. It may take a little longer than usual but you’ll be amazed at what a little patience can accomplish.
