  4. Cover with a clean cloth and set aside.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet.
  6. Fry onions and tomatoes until the onions are tender, but not browned five minutes or less.
  7. Slowly pour the eggs into the skillet, while stirring, and cook them, stirring constantly (as in making scrambled eggs.)
  8. Fold the moistened gari into the eggs-onions-tomatoes mixture.
  9. Remove from heat.
  10. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Serve immediately.
