Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg
Crack one egg into a small bowl, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
Step 2: Heat Oil and Add Egg
Place a small pan on the stove over medium heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once hot, carefully pour the egg from the bowl into the pan. Let the egg white spread and begin to set.
Step 3: Score the Yolk
Using a knife, make a small incision on the egg yolk. This helps prevent it from bursting and allows it to cook more evenly.
Step 4: Add Remaining Egg and Toppings
Once the egg white is mostly set and the yolk is slightly cooked (around 0:06), pour any remaining raw egg mixture from the bowl over the cooked egg. Immediately add the finely chopped onions, followed by the finely chopped tomatoes.
Step 5: Season the Egg
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin powder evenly over the egg and vegetables. Then, add the chopped fresh coriander leaves.
Step 6: Cook and Fold
Allow the ingredients to cook together for about , letting the flavors meld. Then, using a spatula, carefully fold the egg over, encasing the toppings inside, similar to an omelette.
Step 7: Finish Cooking
Continue cooking the folded egg for another on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and the egg is fully cooked through.
Step 8: Serve
Carefully transfer the cooked stuffed fried egg to a serving plate. Garnish with a few extra fresh coriander leaves and a small piece of onion. Cut into halves or quarters and serve hot.
