Notes
You can have the non-veg version of this by adding pre-cooked chicken/beef (cooked with all the masalas) and add it just after cooking the tomatoes.
You can also add eggs along with the masalas and scramble them.
You can even increase the spice level by adding more of the chili powder, taste it and add according to your needs.
It could be even made with leftover Chapathis.
