In a kadai, heat ghee. Fry onions until they become golden brown and keep them aside. In the same ghee, add the blended paste and fry a little. Then add chili powder, salt, eggs and fry till the eggs get coated with the masala. Remove the eggs and keep them aside.
To the same masala paste add the drained rice, garam masala, cardamoms, bay leaves and fry till the rice changes its color. Add sufficient water and bring to boil
