Heat the ghee in a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Allow it to melt and shimmer slightly, which should take about 30-60 seconds.
For best results, crack the eggs onto a small saucer first, then gently slide them into the pan. This prevents shell fragments and broken yolks. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
As the eggs cook, the whites will turn opaque. For perfectly set whites, you can tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the whites with the hot ghee, being careful to avoid the yolk.
Once the whites are fully cooked and the yolk is still runny and jiggly, season directly in the pan with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red chili powder if desired.
Immediately slide the eggs onto a plate using a spatula. Serve hot with toasted bread, pav, or a warm paratha.

Functionally, they are the same. 'Half Fry' is the popular term used in India and Pakistan for a sunny-side up egg, which is fried on one side with a runny yolk. The Indian version is often seasoned with local spices like red chili powder.
To avoid breaking the yolk, crack the egg on a flat surface (like a countertop) instead of the pan's edge. For extra safety, crack it into a small bowl first and then gently slide it into the hot pan.
This usually means your heat is too high. Cook a Half Fry on low to medium-low heat. This allows the whites to set gently and evenly without the bottom burning before the top is cooked.
