Don't waste the aroma:

The oil from frying chicken already has the essence of chilli, ginger-garlic, and masalas. This means you don't need to add a lot of extra spices. The oil itself gives the rice a natural reddish colour and a fantastic aroma.

How to sauté onions:

First, heat two teaspoons of the leftover oil in a pan. Then, add finely chopped onions and green chillies. You should sauté the onions until they turn translucent, not golden brown. This gives a nice crunch to the final dish.

The right way to add eggs:

Push the onions to one side of the pan. Now, add a little oil in the middle and crack the eggs into it. Once the eggs are half-cooked, start scrambling them lightly. Make sure to keep the pieces a bit large so you can taste the egg properly in the rice.

Fluffy, separated rice:

For the best egg rice, you should always use cooked and cooled rice. If the rice is hot, it will turn mushy when you stir it. Only fluffy, separated grains will soak up all the masala flavour perfectly.

Secret flavour-boosting trick:

After adding the rice, sprinkle a pinch of pepper powder and finely chopped coriander. You can also add some finely chopped capsicum and a little chicken masala powder. Now, just stir everything on a medium flame for a short while.
