Tips to Make Scrambled Eggs

To put it simple, all you have to do is to whisk the eggs, add the ingredients, and cook. However, you must know the right method to make the scrambled eggs perfect.
  • In order to prepare this dish, you need six fresh eggs, six teaspoons of low-fat milk, one tablespoon of butter (for greasing the bowl), one teaspoon chili powder (optional), salt, and black pepper (both as per taste).
  • The next step involves whisking of eggs, which is the most important part of making perfect scrambled eggs. Break the eggs into a large bowl, and add the other ingredients, except butter. Beat them in a tilted wheel motion, wherein the eggs are lifted, while beating. 
You can do this with a spoon or a fork, or else, an electric blender will also serve the purpose. Don't beat the eggs for more than two minutes. Stop the process, as the eggs turn frothy and evenly colored.
  • Heat butter in a non-sticking frying pan, over medium heat. As the butter is about to melt completely, add the beaten eggs, and tilt the pan, so that the eggs spread evenly.
  • Never stir the eggs immediately. Once the base of the egg mixture starts setting, stir it with a flat wooden spoon or spatula. You have to push the cooked portions to the sides of the pan, so that the runny portions also get cooked. This ensures that all parts are cooked evenly.
  • You may also break large lumps to small portions, using a spatula. Once the eggs are cooked evenly, toss and cook for another 30 seconds.
Your scrambled eggs is ready to serve. You may add salt and pepper after cooking, instead of adding these ingredients at the first stage.
