A Few Notes
Seed the tomato.
Salt the eggs just before cooking.
If your pan runs hot, check at 2 minutes.
Flip with a wide spatula.
If You're Missing Something
- A pinch of dried chilli flakes works in place of fresh chilli — start with about a third of the quantity the green chilli in the list implies, since dried chilli is more concentrated, and add more to taste.
