  • Tomatoes can be added to the beaten eggs before adding them into the pan giving the dish a tangy flavor.
  • Boiled potatoes cut into small cubes are added to make the dish more filling.
  • Peas, carrots, capsicum and other similar vegetables can be added to the dish, improving the dish's taste and its nutritional value.
