  Ingredients: – 4 eggs, 1 capsicum, 1 onion, 1 potato, 6 button mushrooms, 2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper to taste.

  Preparation time : – 20 minutes Serves : – 2

  HOW TO PREPARE: – Finely slice the onions, capsicum and mushrooms and keep it aside. Peel the potato and cut it into roundels. Take a bowl and add the eggs and beat till it’s nice and fluffy. Take a frying pan and heat the oil. When the oil is very hot add the onions, capsicum, potato and mushrooms each separately. While frying fry on a high flame and sprinkle a little water to avoid roasting them. If fried properly the colour of the vegetables will not change. Now add pepper and salt to the beaten eggs and beat it once more. Take a casserole or an oven proof glass bowl and smear it with oil all over. Now lay in a layer of capsicum. Then put a layer of potatoes over it. Next layer it with the mushrooms and then the onions. Now pour the eggs over this as the last layer. Sprinkle pepper and salt and then cook in a preheated oven till the eggs are done. Remove from the oven and while serving put the spoon right in so that you get all the layers while serving. Serve with bread or stuff it into chapattis.
