Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion slices, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Push onion to the side. Crack eggs directly into the pan and sprinkle garam masala over them. Cover and cook until whites set, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Add cooked rice to the pan, breaking up clumps gently. Toss everything together until rice is warm and evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Divide rice mixture between two bowls. Top each with cucumber slices and carrot slices. Garnish with cilantro if using. Serve hot.
