Chef Deepali Singla Darpan, 11 Mar, 2026
  • Fiery Garlic Chili Egg Melt

Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon oil 

1 tablespoon butter 

3–4 garlic cloves 

1 teaspoon red chili powder 

2 green chilies (sliced) 

1 medium onion (sliced) 

2 eggs 

Salt and pepper to taste 

2 cheese slices 

1 tablespoon chopped coriander 

1 teaspoon chili oil (to garnish) 

Directions: 

  1. In a mortar and pestle, crush garlic with red chili powder and a splash of water to form a smooth, fiery paste.
  2. Heat oil and butter in a pan. Add the sliced green chilies and the prepared garlic-chili paste. Sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
  3. Toss in the sliced onions and cook until they turn soft and slightly caramelized.
  4. Crack in two eggs directly over the mixture. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and coriander. Gently place cheese slices on top and cover the pan.
  5. Let the eggs cook until the cheese melts beautifully. Drizzle some chili oil on top before serving for that irresistible glossy, spicy finish.
