Recipe
1
Soak the potato matchsticks in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain and pat completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Heat oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet and fry the potato matchsticks until they turn crisp and golden brown; remove and set aside as crispy sali.
3
In the same pan with remaining oil, sauté the sliced onions until translucent and soft.
4
Add ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies, cooking for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
5
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt into the onions, stirring well to combine.
6
Spread the crispy potato sali evenly across the bottom of the pan to form a bed.
7
Carefully crack the eggs directly on top of the potato bed at intervals, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
8
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still slightly soft.
9
Garnish generously with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
10
Serve hot straight from the pan alongside warm, buttered pav.
