Ten minutes, one pan, and a spoonful of fermented green chilli thecha for serious heat.

Thecha egg bhurji, the VESA way

Serves 2. Ready in about 10 minutes.

You'll need

4 eggs, 1 small onion finely chopped, 1 tomato chopped, 1 to 2 teaspoons VESA Thecha 01, 1 tablespoon butter or oil, salt to taste, fresh coriander, and toast or pav to serve.

Method

Heat the butter in a pan and soften the onion for 3 minutes. Add the tomato and cook until jammy. Stir in the thecha and let it sizzle for 30 seconds. Crack in the eggs, season lightly, and stir gently over low heat until just set and still soft.

To finish

Take it off the heat while it still looks a little glossy, it keeps cooking in the pan. Scatter coriander, add a tiny extra dot of thecha on top if you like it hot, and serve straight away.
