Tips:
1) First of all, beat the eggs properly before stir-frying. Because if not beaten up, egg whites and yolks get fried separately.
2) Moreover, you can avoid using capsicum if you don’t like.
3) Moreover, I didn’t use ginger garlic paste as I like it that way. If you prefer you can add half tsp of it after sauteing onions.
4) Also, add a dash of lemon juice at last if you wish to.
