Method

  1. Whisk the eggs with a splash of cream (if using) without adding salt; gently scramble them in a pan over medium heat until they are moist and slightly runny, then transfer to a bowl.

  2. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. Add the green chillies and sauté briefly for another 30 seconds.

  4. Stir in the crushed stock cube (vegetable, chicken, or Maggi masala), black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, chilli flakes, and garlic powder if using; mix well.

  5. Pour in the heavy cream and tomato sauce, stirring until the sauce begins to combine.

  6. Add one teaspoon of cornflour or corn starch, whisking continuously to avoid lumps and thicken the sauce.

  7. Stir in the Schezwan sauce for heat and drizzle honey if a touch of sweetness is desired.

  8. Add the chosen greens (spinach, basil, or fresh coriander) and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.

  9. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and gently fold them into the creamy, spicy chilli butter garlic sauce, ensuring they are fully coated.

  10. Serve the dish hot with white rice or your favourite bread.
