In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add salt and whisk vigorously for about 1 minute until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat ghee in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the ghee is hot and shimmering, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Then, add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Stir in the finely chopped tomatoes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down, become soft and pulpy, and the mixture starts to thicken.
Add the turmeric powder and red chili powder. Mix well and cook the masala for 2-3 minutes, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture at the edges of the pan. This indicates the masala is well-cooked.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds to allow the bottom to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently scrape the cooked egg from the bottom and sides of the pan, folding it towards the center. Continue this gentle scraping and folding motion for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are about 90% cooked but still soft and moist. Avoid over-stirring to maintain soft curds.
Turn off the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs. Sprinkle the garam masala and chopped fresh cilantro over the eggs. Give it a final gentle stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Activate the yeast. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Make the dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture and the 2 tbsp of melted butter. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and elastic. It should spring back when you press it lightly.
First proofing. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 60-75 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the pav. Gently punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball, tucking the edges underneath. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. Arrange the dough balls in the pan, placing them close enough to touch each other as they rise.
Second proofing. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let the pav rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they are puffy and have almost doubled.
Bake the pav. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently brush the tops of the risen pav with the 2 tbsp of milk. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. If they brown too quickly, you can cover them loosely with aluminum foil for the last 5 minutes.
Finish and serve. As soon as the pav come out of the oven, brush them generously with the remaining 1 tbsp of melted butter. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Prepare the spices. Using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon, lightly crush the green cardamom pods, cloves, and black peppercorns. Coarsely crush the peeled ginger.
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water with the crushed ginger, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for infusing the water with the spice flavors.
Add the black tea leaves to the simmering spice decoction. Allow it to brew for 2 minutes, or until the liquid turns a deep, dark color.
Pour in the 2 cups of milk and add the sugar. Increase the heat to medium and bring the chai to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let it boil over. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the chai reaches a rich, creamy brown color.
Turn off the heat. Strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve directly into serving cups. For a traditional frothy top, you can pour the chai back and forth between the saucepan and another heatproof vessel a few times before serving. Serve immediately.
