Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until edges turn golden and crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add ginger-garlic paste to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in biryani masala and green chili.
Step 4
Add cold rice and break up any clumps with a spoon. Stir until rice is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Create 4 shallow wells in the rice. Crack an egg into each well, cover with a lid, and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3 minutes.
Step 6
Top with crispy onions and cilantro. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
