Fiery Garlic Chili Egg Melt
Chef Deepali Singla Darpan, 11 Mar, 2026
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:
- In a mortar and pestle, crush garlic with red chili powder and a splash of water to form a smooth, fiery paste.
- Heat oil and butter in a pan. Add the sliced green chilies and the prepared garlic-chili paste. Sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
- Toss in the sliced onions and cook until they turn soft and slightly caramelized.
- Crack in two eggs directly over the mixture. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and coriander. Gently place cheese slices on top and cover the pan.
- Let the eggs cook until the cheese melts beautifully. Drizzle some chili oil on top before serving for that irresistible glossy, spicy finish.
