• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp powdered milk

4. Add your chopped onions and peppers. Stir till incorporated.
5. Heat a pan of a bit of the margarine or oil.
6. Pour in the quantity of batter you want to fry e.g 1 cooking spoon, to make a circle in the pan. Cook on low heat for about a minute and flip to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds.
7. Repeat till all the batter is done.
