How do you make your scrambled eggs?

Just made scrambled eggs for the youngest because he didn't want the tea I had cooked.

My method is to seperate the eggs and whites, scramble the whites and when they're pretty much scrambled add the yolks to make a 'sauce'. Continue cooking for a further minute and serve. No butter or oil needed and seasoning is done at the table.

However my 15 year old tells me that this is wrong and I should beat the eggs with a bit of milk and some seasoning and then scramble them till cooked.

DH says that the pan needs a bit of butter, no milk but the eggs are beaten together before cooking. Scramble till cooked and then season at the table.

So how do you cook your scrambled eggs?? Who's right in my family?

My go to scrambled eggs recipe which the whole family like is an Indian style one (Akoori)

Cracked eggs in a bowl with a bit of salt and pepper and stir/whisk
Grate some garlic
Chop some onions ideally red
De-seed some tomatoes and chop them
You can chop some red or green chilli's too (i don't though)

Butter in pan and then throw in garlic, onion and chilli

Bit of ground cumin, tumeric and garam masala

Add the tomatoes

Then once cooked throw in your bowl of eggs

Stir everything together until you're happy with how runny or firm you like you're scrambled eggs

Season accordingly if needed

Serve with chapati or similar

It's delicious!!

That's not scrambled eggs it's a deconstructed omelette

Very close to a classic American Western omelet, which is a very good thing. But not scrambled egg.

Or an omelette is an overcooked and solidified Akoori.
