Step 1
Boil rice in salted water until al dente, ~12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Slice onion thin. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high and fry onion until deep golden and crispy, ~6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Brown ground lamb, breaking up with a spoon, ~5 minutes. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and spice blend until fragrant, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Layer half the cooked rice over the lamb, then the remaining rice. Scatter crispy onions on top. Cover and warm through on medium, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Wipe the skillet clean. Add remaining oil and fry eggs sunny-side up until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Top the rice bowl with the fried eggs. Garnish with fresh mint or cilantro. Serve hot.
