Spice Level: Adjust the number of chillies based on your spice tolerance. For a milder dish, use fewer chillies or choose a milder variety.
Egg Cooking: Make sure the pan is covered for perfectly cooked eggs and monitor the yolks to your preferred doneness.
Freshness Matters: Use fresh spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus for the best texture and flavour.
Garnish Options: Top with fresh avocado slices, a cilantro sprinkle, or a lime squeeze for added freshness and flavour.
