Method
- Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, spinach and spices to the mix and stir well to combine.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and spring onion for a few mins until softened. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl around the pan with a spatula so the eggs cook evenly, then leave until almost set. Fold in half so the outside sets and the middle is slightly soft.
- Top with fresh coriander and a little extra chilli, to serve.
