Scrambled Eggs a la India

Scrambled egg dishes in India go by different names: egg bhurji, akoori, ekoori, akuri, and perhaps others, but they are all spiced up scrambled eggs and have many of the same ingredients.

Ingredients:

4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon mustard seeds (yellow, brown or black) 
1 small onion, chopped
1 or 2 green or red chili peppers, chopped, or 1 or 2 teaspoons chili pepper flakes
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sunflower oil)
1 tablespoon butter (to finish)

It is good to use a spatter screen for your skillet. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, which will begin to pop within a few seconds; immediately add the onion, the ginger and the chili pepper; cook until the onion begins to soften. Add the tomato and cook for about 1 minute, then add the ground cumin, the turmeric, the salt and 2 tablespoons of the chopped coriander. Stir to mix and cook an additional minute. Lower the heat to low, then pour the beaten eggs over the mixture. Stir occasionally as the eggs begin to firm up into the curds of scrambled eggs. Divide the tablespoon of butter into smaller pieces and add to the top of each serving. The hot eggs will melt the butter. Sprinkle a little of the remaining tablespoon of chopped coriander over each serving.

WORD HISTORY:
Cheetah-This word for "a large, sleek, spotted member of the cat family, known for its speed and agility; and thus, its hunting prowess," is distantly related to obsolete English words "hador" and "hædor," dialectal forms from the same Old Germanic source, with both meaning "bright;" thus also, "clear" (close English cousin, German, still has "heiter," meaning "bright, cheery"), and very distantly related to both "shine," and to the suffix "-hood," as in "neighborhood, adulthood." It goes back to Indo European "skai," which meant "bright, shining, clear." This produced the "k" dominant form "kitro/kitdra," with the same meanings. This gave Sanskrit^ the transliterated "chitra," which meant, "speckled." This then produced "chitraka," which meant, "speckled body;" thus, "type of leopard." This gave Hindi the transliterated "chita," and the transliterated Urdu "cheeta,"^^ meaning "speckled or multicolored cat, a cheetah." England's involvement in India brought the word into English in the 1700s, although its wider use didn't happen until later in the 1700s.     

^ Sanskrit is an ancient language from the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo European; thus, it is related to English, although much further down the family tree. It is still in use to some degree, especially in India.

^^ Hindi and Urdu are also Indo European languages from the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo European. They have many similarities and are mutually intelligible in most cases.
