Quick Egg Rice

Eggs - 2 or 3
Coriander leaves - 1 sprig

Method:

  • Cut Onions, tomatoes and green chillies lengthwise.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of oil and add the fennel seeds, the fennel seeds will splutter and the oil will be fully flavored with fennel seeds.
  • Now add the onions and green chillies fry till onions become light brown in color and add curry leaves and tomatoes.
  • Fry the tomatoes till you get a paste consistency add chicken masala if required, salt to taste and fry for a minute.
  • Add 1 or 2 eggs and fry the egg to 3/4 cooked and add the cooled basmati rice and fry in medium heat.
  • when the rice absorbs all the ingredients add one more egg and give a stir and leave it for 2 mins.

Easy lunch box recipe, different alternate for the normal tomato rice.

Tips:

Another variation would be instead of using tomato and chicken masala use turmeric powder and pepper.
