INGREDIENTS

  • Cottage cheese - 250g, crumbled

  • Ginger - 2 tbsp, minced

  • Garlic - 2 tbsp, minced

  • Olive oil - 3 tbsp

  • Sliced onion - 1/4 cup

  • Sliced tomatoes - 1/4 cup

  • Sliced green peppers - 1/4 cup

  • Fresh mint leaves - 10-15 leaves

  • Fresh basil leaves - 5-6 leaves

  • Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

  • Green chillies - 1 tsp, minced

  • Salt and pepper - to taste

  • Multigrain bread - 2 slices

PROCEDURE

  1. In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Saute cumin seeds until they turn aromatic.

  2. Once the pan is warm, add in sliced onions, minced garlic and ginger and allow these to caramelize for around 1 minute.

  3. Once the onions turn slightly golden brown, add in the green chillies and tomatoes. Saute the tomatoes until they turn soft.

  4. At this stage, add in the salt & pepper along with the crumbled cottage cheese and mix gently.

  5. Cover the pan and let it simmer on low flame for around 3 minutes.

  6. Add in the fresh mint and basil leaves and mix gently.

  7. Turn off the heat and serve the cottage cheese scramble over multigrain toasts

Add in an extra tinge of mint by using the Cilantro & Mint Chutney as a spread over your toasts before topping it with the scramble. This dish pairs beautifully with a cup of Mint-infused Teh Halia. Find links for both these recipes in the 'Related Posts' below.
