  "account": "Indian masala fried eggs with rotis is a flavorful breakfast that blends aromatic spices with the comforting texture of fresh flatbreads. The dish combines spiced onions, tomatoes, and green chilies to give the eggs a rich and spicy flavor. Soft rotis complement the dish perfectly, making it easy to scoop up every delicious bite.\n\nThis recipe serves two and takes approximately 15 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook. It costs less than R60 per serving. The ingredients required include olive oil for frying, 1 small red onion finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced, 15 ml (1 tbsp) of finely grated ginger, 7.5 ml (½ tbsp) of garam masala, 2.5 ml (½ tsp) of turmeric, salt, pepper, 4 eggs, 1 small jalapeño chilli thinly sliced, a handful of coriander, and 2 warm rotis.\n\nTo prepare the dish, start by heating a splash of oil in a small frying pan on high heat. Fry half of the finely chopped red onion for about 3 minutes until it becomes soft. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, and turmeric to the pan. Allow the mixture to cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.\n\nNext, reduce the heat to medium-low. Crack the eggs into the pan and sprinkle the remaining chopped red onion and thinly sliced jalapeño chilli over the top. Cover the pan and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Finally, serve the dish with a handful of chopped coriander and the warm rotis on the side.",
