If you are bored of eating plain old egg everyday in the morning, try this recipe and it will convert those eggs into something special. Adding cheese on Ladi Pav / white roll / bread and sprinkling some more on the top, takes this dish to a whole new level.
Season and spice to taste
You can adjust the amount of salt, green chillies and red chilli flakes to your liking making it more or less spicy as per your preference.
Adding finely chopped Cilantro (Coriander) in the end makes Eggs Kejriwal even more flavourful.
For this dish egg white should be just done and egg yolk should still be runny. But if you do not like a runny yolk, you can always cook it a little longer till egg yolk is done.
