Egg and Bread Fried Rice Recipe
Cuisine: Fusion | Course: Dinner | Diet: Eggetarian
This delicious variation of egg fried rice combines the comforting flavors of South Indian spices with a twist of bread. Unlike traditional egg fried rice, this recipe adds masala spices, a bit of cinnamon, and cloves, making it more flavorful and rich. The bread slices take the dish to the next level by adding a unique texture and taste. A favorite Sunday meal in my family, this fried rice is a perfect blend of simplicity and indulgence.

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.

Cook the Spices and Onions:
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

- Add the black pepper, sambar powder, and salt. Stir everything well to combine.

Add the Bread and Rice:

Final Touches:
- Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
