Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Heat Oil and Ghee

    Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and 2 teaspoons of ghee in a pan or wok over high flame.

  2. Sauté Aromatics

    Once the oil is hot, add chopped ginger and garlic. Fry for a few seconds until fragrant.

  3. Add Onions, Green Chillies, and Curry Leaves

    Add the sliced onions to the pan. Fry until they become light brown and slightly translucent. Then, add the green chilies and curry leaves and continue to fry for about .

  4. Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the tomatoes and fry until they soften. Next, add the homemade garam masala and chili powder. Mix well and cook until the spices are fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the mixture, about .

  5. Add Capsicum and Salt

    Add the chopped capsicum (green bell pepper) and fry for until it's slightly tender-crisp. Add salt to taste and mix thoroughly.

  6. Scramble Eggs

    Crack 3 eggs directly into the pan with the vegetable and spice mixture. Immediately start mixing and scrambling the eggs until they are fully cooked and well combined with the masala.

  7. Cover and Cook

    Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for on medium-low heat. This allows the eggs to cook completely and the flavors to meld.

  8. Add Spring Onion and Coriander

    Uncover the pan and stir. Add the chopped spring onion (white and green parts) and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well.

  9. Combine with Rice

    Add the cooked Sonamasoori rice to the pan. Add a little more salt if needed, as the rice was added. Mix everything thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the egg masala.

  10. Serve

    Once mixed, the Special Egg Rice is ready. Serve hot, optionally with a side of tomato ketchup and garnished with a few fresh spring onion pieces and coriander leaves.
