Quick 15-Minute Pakistani Khagina or Khageena is a breakfast recipe. It's Pakistani version of scrambled eggs with light seasonings and veggies topped with cilantro and green onions. Most people enjoy Khagina with bread or parathas.
WHAT IS KHAGINA?
Quick 15-Minute Pakistani Khagina is a popular breakfast recipe. This is a Pakistani-style scrambled eggs made with onion, tomato, serrano pepper (green pepper), and seasonings.
It goes well with paratha, bread, or even a croissant. This Pakistani recipe is sure a crowd pleaser. I have other Pakistani breakfast recipes on the blog like: Sooji Ka Halwa and Beef Nihari.
HOW TO MAKE KHAGEENA?
CAN YOU ADD VEGGIES TO IT?
OMG! Yes, you can every much so. May I suggest adding some mushrooms, bell pepper, spinach and cherry tomatoes. I can imagine that would taste so good and loaded with flavor and health benefits.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OMELETTE AND SCRAMBLED EGG?
Omelette is folded in one piece and not stirred very often while cooking. Scrambled eggs get pushed around in the frying pan so you can get little chunks of eggs as the end result.
