Coriander Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tbsp Pav Bhaji Masala
0.75 tsp Garam Masala
1.25 tsp Salt (or to taste)
0.25 cup Water (as needed)
3 tbsp Coriander Leaves (chopped, for garnish)
0.25 cup Cheese (grated, optional for garnish)
Instructions
1
Sauté Aromatics
Heat butter and oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or tawa over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and green chillies. Cook for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
2
Cook the Masala Base
Add the finely chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft and mushy.
Add all the dry spice powders: turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and pav bhaji masala. Add salt to taste.
Mix everything well and cook the spices for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
3
Create the 'Ghotala' Texture
Pour in 1/4 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Using a potato masher, firmly mash the onion-tomato mixture directly in the pan for about a minute. This creates the signature coarse, thick gravy texture of 'ghotala'.
4
Incorporate Scrambled Eggs
Crack 4 of the eggs directly into the masala.
Immediately begin to scramble them with a spatula, mixing them thoroughly into the masala.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft and moist. Avoid overcooking.
5
Add Sunny-Side-Up Eggs
Spread the scrambled egg mixture evenly across the pan.
With the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the mixture.
Carefully crack the remaining 4 eggs, one into each well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it steam for 3-4 minutes.
Cook until the egg whites are opaque and set, but the yolks remain runny.
6
Garnish and Serve
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the garam masala, chopped coriander leaves, and optional grated cheese over the top.
Serve immediately and hot with generously buttered and toasted pav (bread rolls).

Ingredients
8 slices White Bread (You can also use brown or whole wheat bread)
4 tbsp Salted Butter (Softened to room temperature for easy spreading)
1 pinch Salt (Optional, for sprinkling)
1 pinch Black Pepper Powder (Optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
1
Take the butter out of the refrigerator to let it soften at room temperature. This will make it easy to spread without tearing the bread.
2
Heat a tawa (a flat Indian griddle) or a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes. It should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles instantly.
3
While the tawa heats, apply about 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
4
Place 2 to 3 bread slices on the hot tawa, buttered-side down. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
5
Toast for 1-2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to gently press down on the bread, ensuring it toasts evenly to a golden-brown color.
6
While the first side is toasting, spread the remaining butter on the top, unbuttered side of the bread slices.
7
Flip the slices and toast the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it is also golden-brown and crisp.
8
Remove the toast from the tawa. If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately with hot tea or coffee.
