- 1 Tomato finely chopped, small
- 1 inch Cinnamon Stick
- 2 Cardamom Pods
- 2 Cloves
- 1 Bay Leaf
Protein & Grains
- 1 1/2 cup Basmati Rice long-grain rice is recommended
- 2 Eggs
Fats & Oils
- 4-5 tbsp Refined Oil vegetable oil or similar
- 1 tbsp Ghee clarified butter (optional, for extra richness)
- 2 cup Water depending on rice type, or as needed
Instructions
Prepare the Rice
- Wash and soak the basmati rice in water for at least 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly before cooking.
Scramble the Eggs
- Heat 2 tablespoons of refined oil in a pan over medium heat. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with salt. Pour the eggs into the hot pan and scramble vigorously until cooked through. Set aside.
Sauté Aromatics and Spices
- Heat the remaining oil and ghee in a large wok or pot over medium heat. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Cook the Vegetables and Spices
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the ginger paste and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Mix well and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add Tomatoes and Rice
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until softened and the raw smell is gone. Stir in the garam masala powder. Add the drained rice and mix well to coat with the spices.
Simmer and Serve
- Add 2 cups of water (adjust as needed depending on the type of rice you are using). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Gently stir in the scrambled eggs. Serve hot.
