Step 1
Boil 3 cups salted water in a large skillet or pot. Add rice and cook until just tender, ~12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet over medium-high, cook ground lamb with sliced yellow onion, breaking up meat, until lamb is browned, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and biryani spice blend. Cook until fragrant, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Add cooked rice to the lamb mixture. Toss until warmed through and spices coat each grain, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Push rice to the sides. Crack eggs into the center and fry until whites set but yolks jiggle slightly, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Top with sliced red onion and fresh chili. Serve immediately in bowls.
