Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken dry. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tbsp oil and the sliced onions. Cook 6 minutes, stirring often, until deeply caramelized and soft.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in chili powder and coriander. Cook 1 minute until fragrant, then crack all eggs directly into the skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Cook eggs 3–4 minutes until whites set but yolks stay runny. Gently toss with onion masala until coated.

  6. Step 6

    Plate eggs and masala, top with chicken pieces and tomato slices. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
