In addition, this recipe does not use “any” oil or frying. So this is super healthy and very delicious too. Tea Psychedelic Egg Recipe It is ideal for breakfast with bread, butter and juice.

How to prepare Psychedelic Egg

1. Take a microwave-safe bowl (preferably a deep one with a wide base so that the egg spreads out and falls below the top edges), crack one egg into the bowl so that the yolk remains intact. Note: This container can be served directly at the breakfast table and eaten with a spoon.

2. Sprinkle salt to taste, sprinkle a little more over the yolk.

3. Sprinkle powdered black paper powder and chat masala evenly.

4. Spread the very finely chopped onions, green bell pepper (capsicum), tomato (seedless/liquid) and carrots. Remember that they must be chopped very fine or else they will not cook well. Note: Try to avoid the yolk as putting these chopped vegetables could break and spill the yolk.

5. Sprinkle the dried red chile seeds over the whole egg (white and yolk).

6. Now the very important part and you have to be careful about this. Cover the container with a perforated plate (or with a tissue if you don’t have one). Put the microwave power at 40% and cook for 2 minutes.

7. Take out the container and see how much it cooks. You will likely find that the yolk is still uncooked, while the remaining egg white is almost cooked except for the edges near the yolk. Now put it back in the microwave, set the power to 60% and cook for 50 seconds. Don’t forget to cover with perforated material or tissue paper.

8. This time you may hear a popping sound, and when you take out you should see that the yolk is almost set and the egg white is also set with a slight brown color around the edges.

9. Now, the final touch, you should do it only if you find that the yolk is “almost” ready. But, if you find that the yolk is already ready, you can skip this step. Return the container to the microwave oven, set the cooking power to 30% and cook for 1 min.

Tea psychedelic egg it’s now ready to serve in the same bowl after it’s cooled with bread, butter and juice for a truly healthy breakfast. As you may have guessed, setting the microwave power and cooking time is the critical part of this recipe. You can experiment with the times based on your own microwave oven. The rule of thumb is that if you find the yolk bursting, you overheated the egg and you need to turn the power down a bit.
