- ¼ tsp Grated Ginger
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Peanut Oil any oil with high smoke point would work
Onion Tomato Curry
- 1 tbsp Peanut Oil
- ½ cup Finely Chopped Onions

- ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
- ½ tsp Garam Masala
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper Powder
- ½ tsp Chopped Hot Green Chilis

Instructions
Prepare Green Garlic
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Once hot, saute fresh green garlic (or frozen green garlic) along with chopped hot green chilis, tiny bit of ginger and salt.
- Saute on low/medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add ¼ cups of chopped cilantro, mix well and take it out of the pan and keep it aside.
Prepare Onion Tomato Curry
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the same pan. Saute finely chopped onions until translucent.
- Add shredded tomatoes (without skin), chopped green chilis, red chili powder, salt, pepper and garam masala. Saute on medium heat until the oil starts to separate.
- Once ready, take it off the heat and keep it aside.
Assembly
- Heat 3 tbsp of oil in an cast iron. If you do not have cast iron, use any shallow pan.
- Crack 6 eggs in the pan before oil gets hot while keeping the heat on low. Sprinkle salt, black pepper powder and red chili powder on all cracked eggs inside the pan.
- Keep cooking the eggs on low heat until you get the yolk to cook the way you like! There should be enough oil by the pan edges, carefully scoop that oil with a spoon and keep poring it on each yolk. That will help yolk to cook from the top as well.
- You can also cover the pan to cook the yolk completely using the steam. I like yolks completely cooked so this step takes me good amount of time. Make sure the heat is on low so the bottom of the eggs does not get burnt.
- Once the eggs are almost cooked, top them with onion tomato curry first and then spicy green garlic.
- Cover it and let it cook for a minute or two more. Serve it hot with any type of bread!
