🍋 Healthy Lemon Pepper Egg Stir-Fry

This Healthy Lemon Pepper Egg Stir-Fry is a quick and delicious way to enjoy eggs with a tangy, peppery sauce. Instead of deep-frying the eggs, a simple omelette is prepared, cut into bite-sized pieces, and tossed in a light garlic-chilli sauce. It makes a great high-protein breakfast, snack, or quick dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp finely chopped ginger
  • ½–1 green chilli, chopped

  • ½ tsp corn flour
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest, optional
  • Spring onion or coriander for garnish

Method

Whisk the eggs with a little salt and black pepper. Heat a non-stick pan with a few drops of oil and prepare a thin omelette. Once cooked, remove it from the pan, cut it into small bite-sized pieces, and keep aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté garlic, ginger, and green chilli for a few seconds until fragrant. Add soy sauce and chilli or tomato sauce and mix well.

In a small bowl, mix corn flour with water to make a smooth slurry. Pour it into the pan while stirring continuously. Cook for a minute until the sauce becomes lightly thick.

Season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add lemon juice and lemon zest for a fresh, tangy flavour. Finally, add the omelette pieces and gently toss until they are well coated with the sauce.

How to make Soft & Spongy Suji Bun Dosa at Home

By / Breakfast Recipes, Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

Soft & Spongy Suji Bun Dosa

A soft, fluffy and wholesome breakfast made with suji, curd and vegetables. You can make it either instantly or use natural fermentation for an even softer texture.

Version 1: Quick & Easy No-Eno Bun Dosa

Ingredients

  • 1 cup suji/rava
  • ½ cup thick curd
  • ¼–½ cup water, as required
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 tbsp grated carrot
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped capsicum
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 green chilli, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp oil for cooking

Method

  1. Add suji, rice flour, curd and salt to a bowl.
  2. Gradually add water and make a thick, smooth batter.
  3. Cover and rest for 30–40 minutes.
  4. Add the vegetables, ginger, chilli, coriander and cumin.
  5. Add a little water if needed. The batter should be thick like pancake batter.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan and lightly grease it.
  7. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it slightly thicker than a regular dosa.
  8. Cover and cook on low-medium heat until the top is cooked and the bottom is golden.
  9. Flip gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Result: Soft and fluffy inside with a lightly golden outside — without Eno or baking soda.

Version 2: Naturally Fermented Bun Dosa

This version takes a little more planning but gives a softer and naturally fermented texture.

Ingredients

Use the same ingredients as Version 1.

Method

  1. Mix suji, rice flour, curd and water into a thick batter.
  2. Cover and keep it in a warm place for 4–6 hours.
  3. Once slightly fermented, gently mix the batter.
  4. Add the vegetables, spices, coriander and salt.
  5. Adjust the consistency with a little water.
  6. Cook thickly on a lightly greased pan, covered, over low-medium heat.
  7. Flip once the base is golden and the top is cooked.

Tip: If your kitchen is cool, fermentation may take longer. Slightly sour curd works particularly well.

⚡ Quick Advance-Prep Tips

Night-before prep:
Mix suji + curd + water + salt and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, add vegetables and adjust the consistency before cooking.

Vegetable prep:
Chop carrot, capsicum, onion, coriander and chilli together and store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.

Batch batter:
Prepare the basic suji-curd batter in advance and refrigerate. Add fresh vegetables just before cooking.

For an extra-soft texture:
Don’t make the batter watery and don’t spread the dosa too thin. A thick dosa + covered cooking + low-medium heat gives the best bun-dosa texture.

Healthy Serving Options

Serve with:

  • Mint-coriander chutney
  • Vegetable sambar
  • Fresh curd
  • Coconut chutney in a controlled portion

Best for busy mornings: Keep the basic batter ready overnight and simply add vegetables and cook fresh in the morning.
