A classic fried egg with a sunny, runny yolk, spiced up with a sprinkle of Indian masalas. The perfect quick breakfast or simple side to any meal, ready in just 5 minutes.
Heat ghee in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the ghee coats the bottom evenly.
Gently crack the eggs into the hot pan, leaving space between them. Be careful not to break the yolks.
Immediately sprinkle the salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and black pepper powder evenly over the eggs.
Cook for 2-3 minutes. For a runny yolk (sunny-side up), cook until the whites are completely set. For a jammy yolk, cover the pan with a lid for the last minute of cooking to steam the top. For a fully cooked yolk, gently flip the egg and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
Using a spatula, carefully slide the fried eggs onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.
