Green peas with scrambled egg


This is an easy and nutritious side dish. I made it especially for my daughter who loves greenpeas but not egg. But she loves this dish as egg comes with the peas :-)
You may also add diced carrots to this to make it more colorful and nutritious too.
This may also be used as a sandwich filling.
Easy recipe suitable for bachelor cooking too.
