For 2 servings
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and optional green chili. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and cumin powder to the pan. Stir well and cook for about 30 seconds until the raw smell of the spices disappears and they become fragrant.
Spread the onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan. Using a spoon, create four small wells in the mixture.
Gently crack one egg into each well. Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the eggs.
Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 2-3 minutes for runny yolks (sunny-side up). For firmer yolks, cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
Turn off the heat. Garnish generously with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve immediately with toast, roti, or pav.
