Method

  1. Whisk the eggs with a splash of cream (if using) without adding salt, then softly scramble them until moist and slightly runny; transfer to a bowl.

  2. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant, then add the green chillies and sauté briefly.

  3. Add the crushed vegetable or chicken stock cube (or Maggi masala), black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, chilli flakes, and garlic powder if using; mix everything together.

  4. Stir in the heavy cream and tomato sauce, mixing well until the sauce comes together.

  5. Add one teaspoon of cornflour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce, stirring to avoid lumps.

  6. Incorporate Schezwan sauce for a spicy, tangy kick and drizzle honey if a touch of sweetness is desired (optional).

  7. Add the chosen greens—spinach, basil, or fresh coriander—and let everything cook together.

  8. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and gently mix until they are coated in the creamy, spicy chilli butter garlic sauce.

  9. Serve hot with white rice or your favourite bread.
