Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Ghee or clarified butter

  5. Arrange a deep layer of spinach in the skillet.
  6. Slice tomato into thin slices. Very thin. Layer the tomato on top of the spinach. With a big tomato and a small skillet, this means you might have three layers in some sections.

  9. Add a light dusting of red chili powder.

  12. Grind some fresh black pepper over the eggs and transfer skillet to the hot oven.
  13. Let bake 13 minutes. The eggs should be well set and firm to the touch after 13 minutes.
  14. When eggs are done, work the edges free from the skillet with a fork and then slide the eggs and vegetables from the skillet to a plate.
