Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Ensure the pan is hot before adding ingredients.
- Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant and slightly golden.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pan, spreading them in a single layer. Sprinkle salt over the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy, which should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Once potatoes are crispy, reduce heat to medium and add chili garlic sauce. Stir thoroughly to coat the potatoes evenly with the sauce.
- Create small wells in the potato mixture and crack the eggs directly into these spaces. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves for added freshness and color.
- Serve hot directly from the pan, ensuring each serving gets crispy potatoes and a perfectly cooked egg.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Cut potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Heat Management: Use a non-stick pan and ensure it's properly heated before adding ingredients to achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- Spice Control: Adjust the chili garlic sauce quantity based on your heat tolerance - start conservative and add more if needed.
- Egg Timing: For the perfect runny yolk, cook eggs just until the whites are set - about 3-4 minutes with the lid on.
- Fresh Finish: Always add fresh cilantro at the end to bring a burst of color and fresh flavor to your dish.
- Serving Hack: Serve directly from the pan to keep the dish hot and maintain the crispy potato texture.
